The weight of the safe isn't all that important actually, I read somewhere a few months back while we were working on getting our system specs setup that you need to choose a perfect location for it, under the stairs, in-ground (like a gun safe embedded in concrete) or somewhere else 'hidden' and not easy to access.
No matter how heavy a safe is, a decent crowbar and a big enough dude with a dolly will be able to move it if it isn't secured, once its out of your possession they have all the time in the world to figure out how to get the contents of it out.

That's nonsense. The weight and size of a home safe is a huge deterrent to thieves completing an actual theft. My home safe is only 850 lbs. and 5 feet tall by 4 feet wide but it took two HUGE guys to move it into my house on a heavy duty dolly which was straining under the mass as the half-compressed tires reluctantly turned. Not to mention they had a cube truck with a lift gate to drop it on the driveway in the first place. It's even harder to load it up to remove it and practically impossible without a lift gate. It's just too big heavy and awkward. And there are way bigger and heavier safes than that commonly available.
Add on two more layers of security with wireless alarms and video cameras broadcasting 24/7, and it's very unlikely that any but very, very determined professional thieves are going to be able to pull off a heist. And why would those kind of people target just anyone? |
