[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 547104, member: 22"]In my experience with safe jobs , the villains went for the weakest part of the safe, they cut the back off. Many old safes had elaborate locks and were very heavy but the makers skimped on the backs. I went to a local burglary years ago and the thieves spent a whole weekend in the offices. Safe was around 6 feet tall 3 feet wide, they tipped it onto its front and used a Stihl saw to remove the back. I laughed when the owner told me, there was only a bottle of Scotch inside, no cash or jewels and he never locked the door because he lost the keys :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:[/QUOTE]
