Ive heard stories about bolted safes in garages getting stolen by being pulled up with a truck and a chain."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment

My safe was over 800 lbs empty and 2 little guys with a 4-wheel furniture dolly and a 2' long piece of 4x4 moved it pretty easy. Mine is bolted to the slab.Atlantic Blue '00 - '03 Cobra motor and TKO600, solid axle, full MM suspension

Mine is bolted. Can't remember the weight. Make criminals work as hard as possible if they are going to steal your shit.I don't like Republicans, but I really FUCKING hate Democrats.

Meh, they will have to figure a way inside a house with 3 dogs without alerting neighbors that go nowhere all day. Much less they have to know where the safe is and come prepared to move it which will be noticeable. A safe is only designed to keep a fly by night thief out that strike out of opportunity.Originally posted by YALE View Post"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

Bolt them down and have a house alarm.
No safe is a guarantee against a thief. If you give them enough time they can cut into your safe. A sawzall with metal cutting blades will get into 99 percent of all the safes out there in under an hour. Hence the house alarm.Comment

That's the way most safes are designed, very few safes anyone has in their house will stop someone who is actually prepared to open a safe.Originally posted by dee View Post
Mine is a "nicer" safe, but my primary concern was fire protection(1600 degrees at 90 minutes). If a criminal comes prepared to get into a safe he will, no matter how much you spent.
I'm hoping between my alarm, my CCTV with alerts, my secondary alert system, and my safe my belongings are secure from would be criminals."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.

Got em bolted down with a code to the door on the gun room, motion sensors in and around connected to my phone and ADT, and full CCTV system inside and out that I can see from my phone/computer, and a $20 dead bolt on the front door.Originally posted by lincolnboyComment

At your place or your dad's? Now you've all growed up and moved out, it's no longer your's to claim, is it?Originally posted by DOHCTR View Post
<--- not bolted down, but will be in the next crib...
House alarm, 2 big dogs, and I work from home...Comment

Mine is primarily for fire protection as well. I figure 1hr at 1600 should save stuff long enough for the fire department to show up and ruin anything thats not burnt.Originally posted by FATHERFORD View Post"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

you bolt it to the floor not because of theft, but so it wont tip over.

Not saying it will, but stranger things have happened.Comment

500 - 800 lb safes are easy to drag out of a house if they are not bolted down. The only reason it took 3 guys to move it is because you don't wants to damage the house. I'm pretty sure anyone trying to haul your safe away isn't concerned about your floor or walls.
A heavy duty furniture dolly, PVC pipes, golf balls, etc. will get a safe moving faster than you can stop it.Comment
