<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedbump, post: 2275856, member: 75637&quot;]A safe’s first line of defense will be its ability to deter a thief from wasting time on it in lieu of going for other things that are more easily stolen. Most burglaries are smash and grab operations lasting only a few minutes. If your typical burglar has to spend more than a few minutes messing with it, they will move on to other things. If you have an alarm with monitoring, this will usually hasten their endeavor even more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep in mind that TL ratings are given in minutes for the time tools are actually in contact with the safe. Not the total time it takes to break into the safe. These times are also based on the skill level of actually safe crackers. Your run-of-the-mill burglar will likely need a significant amount of time to bust into a TL-15, if he’s able to do so at all. I would say that a TL-15 or higher would be for something where you are protecting against a deliberate attack on the safe. The burglar is there for the purpose of gaining access to the safe and has appropriate tools. That means they likely know its there and maybe even what’s inside.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
