I merely pointed that out to show how fragile a home gun safe is. Thirty minutes isn't necessary.

I don't know how to post links, but go here:

Shows a unsecured safe in a wide open room.

I would guess that if you don’t have your bolted down in a place that is easy to tip it over then that attack well be successful.

You're missing the point. No safe is a guarantee. Any safe can be gotten into. Bolted? No problem. Crowbars can be held sideways. LOL.

Your right given enough time ay thing can be broken into.

Having pried on a lot of things the pressure one can apply side ways is a lot less than one can apply down wards and up wards.

Two guys with heavy duty steel pry bars can get into any safe of Harry Homeowner quality. And it won't take much time. I drilled holes in my safe for securing. And it's not a cheap safe, either.

They aren't what you think they are. However, believe what you want. I've said all I care to say.

Have you ever tried using a large pry bar in a confined space let along getting two guys into that confined space to use both of them at one time.

Why do you think they used a wide open ware house where they could tip the safe over and have unlimited working room

Most burglars don’t work in pairs, don’t carry 4 foot pry bars, they are a bit hard to hide. Most burglars are the neighbor kid who does a quick smash and grab.

Safes are what they are I have no disillusions on their break-ability.

If a professional comes to your house your screwed most burglars are not professional.

But they well do a job on stopping the local neighborhood yokel whose sees you drive out of the yard every morning going to work.
