“Anyway, bolt those safes to the floor, people. Or the wall. Or both.
If a thief can pick it up and carry it out, the safe is way too small.”
A guy I know has his gun safe sitting outside the front door to his doublewide (in a rural area). It’s a well built safe, so it’s quite heavy empty, but load enough guns and lead into it and a small crane is needed to move it.
An additional thought regarding bolting a safe to the floor or wall, if whoever is anchoring it doesn’t bolt it to the studs or floor joists, might as well not even bother. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the average contractor/handyman would skip this step, if the homeowner wants the safe positioned in a spot where any pre-drilled holes in the safe do not line up with the framing.
She should have millions from her tv shows.
Where did all that money go?
I have mine on a concrete floor. Drilled into the concrete, put in anchors, and bolted ‘er down. But what you say is true - it depends on where the joists/studs are usually.
She's currently on the show 'Six'
Does she live in Hollywood? There is a rash of these types of crimes targeting celebrities going on there.
