said by Msradell:Several people have said that with a hammer and cold chisel or with an acetylene torch, etc. these safes are very easily opened. In reality they certainly are is to open with tools but very few home burglars carry tools like this with them. They are more smash and grab oriented so they don't have the tools nor do they want to take the time needed to open are still a safe. Only a burglar knows what you have and wants to get to it will come with tools. Any safe they can't just pick up and run away with is good enough to prevent it from being taken during most routine burglaries.
That is a good point. Though a home burglar may check to see what tools are at the residence and use those. I have had that happen to some friends.
Our neighborhood we had some car prowls a few years back and I had some tools in the car and truck, which I forgot to lock. They took some of the tools but left ones that could be used as weapons. Chatting with the Officer who came out and he said if they had been caught with screwdrivers, sharpened wood chisels, other chisels and similar, they could have been charged with a more serious crime.
