The fatboy is a great example of an inexpensive safe that will deter smash and grabs and keep the kids dick beaters out.Įven then, if something does happen, House floods, fire, tornado, stollen, lost.whatever. So the logical answer is buy the biggest safe you can store.

But even then, until you get up into the TL rated safes, most can be cracked without too much time or tools. It will be harder to break into, more fire resistant ect. You can get a Big quality safe that will cost thousands and weigh thousands. Now that your stuff is fully insured you need to decide what kind of storage. With USAA it doesn't matter if its stolen, burnt up or I drop it out a boat or just plain lose it, its covered. Its cheap, usually less than 1% per year of insured value. The first step is to ensure everything with a personal property or collectors insurance. Fire ratings mean jack shit in almost every real fire the safe will be in hot coals and soaked in water so everything will be destroyed anyway. Anything short of a real safe (Which start at about $4K and go up quick) can be cracked in less than a minute with an angle grinder or a pry bar. A safe does not protect your valuables for anything other than a smash and grab.

Hell, one of the neighbors claims that someone loaded his entire safe into a truck while he was in mexico on vacation Lol.Īnything short of a AMSEC BF series is a cheap RSC, even those fancy liberty safes. If they've got time to get to the safe, they've got time to open it.
Just don't expect it to keep criminals or fire out. I've got to get a new one and I'll go the $1500 direction too.
Im not trying to say don't buy a liberty or whatever you want. I have my thought about fire ratings too, but any of the nicer safes have them, so its not like you can save any money ignoring them. Sure, we moved it and had took to work, but I think the moral of the story is that it doesn't take anything fancy to get into them. We slid it out where we had some room, played it on its back, and 2 drunks pried the door open with tire mounting tools in 45 seconds. We started simple figuring we'd work up to cutting into it. We thought about plasma and skinny wheels on grinders and everything else you might consider in a well equipped shop. Anyway, after quite a few beers we talked him into letting us break into it so he could get his stuff out. It was a cannon or liberty or something along those lines, don't remember exactly. It would certainly piss me off if a robber peeled it open like a tuna can in a short time, and makes me ponder what I need.Ī friend of mine somehow screwed up his electronic lock bad enough that we couldn't fix it or get through safe open.
It's literally a big purchase - it's a large, heavy, space consuming object, and a few thousand dollars is a lot of money when I currently don't work. I'm not sure how many of them carry tools and the knowledge to allow them to break into a Liberty "safe", I really don't know. It would prevent that tweaker that's looking for any easy pawn shop sale score so that he/she could pay for their next hit, at least they wouldn't be doing it with my TacOps rifle. On the other hand, I doubt many robbers are showing up to heists with plasma cutters, and most jobs are "smash and grabs". I've been holding off on a safe purchase for a while because unless you spend big money, you really aren't getting a "safe", and you have a multi-thousand dollar heavy item that can maybe hold someone who knows what they are doing back about ~5-10 minutes. This decision is one of the few that is a bit overwhelming, and something I've been mulling over for years.
