I wonder what the stats are on owners failing to bolt their safes down. I’ve heard of a few instances of people either improperly bolting the safes down or not doing it at all. Honestly that’s just like gift wrapping your valuables for a burglar, they can just haul it off site and open it at their leisure.

The standard for bolting safes down or not is 800 lbs or heavier doesn’t need to be bolted down or have an anti-pack off kit (a fastened down frame around the bottom that prevents levering the safe up). Smaller safes usually have a hole or holes pre-drilled in the bottom to simplify bolting them down.

Yeah i was thinking of smaller/lighter safes, though doing a search it seems that some thieves are tenacious enough to steal even bolted down safes.

Security has to be applied in layers. Deter, detect, delay, deny, respond are the basic principles of security. It’s no good to delay a thief if they aren’t detected. The criminal will be denied access to what they want if the time to acquire it is longer than the detect>response interval.

Wow, that is a blast from the past I haven’t thought of in a very long time. Color me nostalgic now.

Haha. Indeed. I just leave the key in the lock of my fire safe so I don’t lose it. Plus, If there is a fire, then there is one hole the fire won’t be getting in.
