Next week we are taking my Mom to get a safe and Mr. GG2 is going to bolt it to the floor so we can clean out her safe deposit box. Sooner rather than later we are going to see the haircut/bail in come to the US.
Very smart move.
Depending on what you are going to put in it, of course, but we’re I to install a safe the first thing I would do would be pour about a two ton cube of concrete with 304 stainless anchor bolts to attach it. A safe so mounted ain’t going anywhere. A safe bolted to the floor can be gone in ten minutes with a tow truck and a chainsaw.

Yes, but there will be some who will make a lot of money on it’s way down.
I’ve suggested the same to mine.
Very good idea.
I trust banks as much as I do professional politicians.
We’ve done the same. Smart move.
I was looking at a safe. Costco was having a sale. Then looked at various reviews of safes. It was really discouraging. From the various reviews and youtubes, the ones at costco and similar looked pretty worthless. A hand drill and a pry bar and they were into it.
I supposed coupled with a security system so the police would come(?) before they were able to take the 5 minutes to get into the safe it might be worth it.
It looked like the more expensive ones will do the trick. I recall my dad had one put into our basement floor. They chipped out the slab about 2’x2’ or so, then buried the safe, then poured the slab over except for the door - that was 1’x1’ or something. And then a piece of something over that opening, and then some Christmas ornament boxes over that.
