<p>[QUOTE="cplradar, post: 8005294, member: 108985"]So yesterday I went to a local lock smith and viewed a number of the safes. None of them seem inherently all that secure. The development of fancy locking mechanisms seem to be undermined that they can largely be just picked up and hauled away. Some of the commercial safes seemed to have been designed to be placed in walls. That is not really feasible in an apartment. It seems that a simple safe that is bolted to the floor is perhaps the best option, assuming you have permission to do such a thing. At least then they need to use a crow bar to remove it. Other than that, your about as secure as your front door or your windows, which track records show is notoriously difficult to reasonably secure until you want to live like your in a maximum security prison.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, none of this seems more secure than a locked fileing cabinet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
