[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 2525719, member: 77814"]One thing I recommend, which is what I've done, is to research how to break into safes and safe construction. As mentioned the gun safes and many other safes are fairly easy to break into, bolted or not. Even some cheap Asian made TL-15s are easy to break in to. Then it also depends what type of burglar you get. The "smash and grab" types can be slowed by many type of safes. More sophisticated ones may know how to get into simple retail store safes (with just a magnet in some cases, or pick up and throw down on a corner and it'll bust open), where as other may know how to get into B-rated safes (aka Cash boxes - which may have 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch box). There's many options out there. One of your biggest decision is if you go with a fire rated or not fire rated safe. For instance a B-rated safe is a great deterrent, though not fire rated. Could always put one of those small fire rated carry boxes in a B-rated safe too. FYI, I also recommend you keep any armament in a different safe than valuables. SDB for the upper end stuff. here's a head start for your research ratings ==> [url]https://www.safeandvaultstore.com/burg-ratings[/url] construction (it's about gun safes but contains a lot of good info) ==> [url]http://www.6mmbr.com/gunsafes.html[/url] there's tons of info on how to break into a safe, I'll let you search that out yourself. Also go to a safe store. They'll probably have a bunch of used safes which can save you a lot of money from buying new, and get a higher quality safe.[/QUOTE]
