Gump Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Some of those old school, heavy, business safes you see at auctions, sound a lot better now. Opportunistic thieves probably won't mess with a cheap safe if they can't carry it. A career thief is going to get your stuff no matter what. On the other hand that's why we pay insurance. I think it's kind of a wash of a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 well i want a good decent safe... it will be bolted to the concrete.. so no picking it up.. and yeah a career is going to do what they are going to do.. and i have insurance.. not like my things are really worth enough to a career guy lol.. but never the less..

kawi kid Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 The company I'm interested in is pretty awesome about their warranty. House fire they will replace it with a size bigger for free. Somebody tried to break into it they replace it size bigger for free lol.

shadyone Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Know a family who had a large 48 gun safe and while on vacation thieves broke in and hammered it out of he floor moved it through the house and dropped it off the backporch. The house was on a hill so it was in concrete. They then took a four wheeler and drug it in a nearby woods where they pried it open. The tracks were evident in the yard and brought them right to it where it was laying in a creek bed. If they want it will be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydrant Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Unless its something of substance as far as weight they will get it if they want it. A safe is more protection than the closet, and will help slow them down.A friend of my dads owned a rigging company, and got an Mosler safe that was 8,000 lbs and put it in his garage (not your average 2 car). He poured it up higher on a pad. He was on vacation and someone broke into his house and tried to get the safe. The thieves figured they could just tip the safe over into the back of a pickup. When the safe hit, you could see the dents in the concrete were the rearend of the truck hit, and a pool of gear oil. They never got the safe, it was found laying on its face. I guess they never realized it was 8K, or the force of 8k falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I just think a safe says to a thief, "hey look over here, this is where all the valuables are at!" I would just hide all your guns and valuables in plain sight where you would never think to look for them. I mean if a thief breaks in while you're on vacation, you think they're gonna look in the dishwasher for your guns? Or that you have all your jewelry in a box of cereal in the cupboard?

cOoTeR Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 There was a guy not where I work but another station. His family went on vacation so he hid his loaded duty handgun in the oven. When they got home his wife decided she wanted to cook something. I guess this was a rare instance and she decided to use the oven. Well she preheated it and cooked the gun. I guess it disfigured the polymer enough he had to report it but the gun still functioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 For the money, its hard to beat a Liberty Safe. Lowes is a Liberty Dealer and they price match plus 10%. So when the clearance ads come out from the gun and sporting goods stores take that ad to Lowes for another $100 off. My last safe purchase was the Liberty Fat Boy for almost half price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 here's an idea - might not be fireproof, but toss a padlock on it and it would slow down a crook: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
