I have some experience in this - on the end of preventing break ins of safes and stand alone security containers.

Thieves will buy the safe, take it apart, and figure out some way to get it in.

I had one experience in which all the thieves had to do it to drill a hole in the side of the safe, at just the right angle and position, and then insert a rod to hold a flap the certain way, and the dang door would pop right open.

The drill bit had to be less than 3/16 inches in diameter and THREE AND A HALF FEET LONG, but with a proper jig it was just less than rocket science.

When dealing with professionals yes. If you have enough stuff that you are worried about professional burglars targeting your home you should invest higher grade security.

For most people they have to worry more about the neighborhood druggie or next door teenager seeing that you are gone to work.

Kicking in the door grabbing what ever and running out.

I have investigated hundreds of burglaries 99 percent are done by the smash and grab types.

Loose lips sink ships if you are in a habit of showing your stuff off and showing your security off you are opening yourself up.
