What's this?

Well there's your problem. A fire safe is to protect it from fire


not theft.

A 3/8" cable is better than I was picturing. You aren't getting through that with wire cutters (but you would with a bolt cutter...although even serious thieves likely don't carry those unless they know they need them).

The fire caulk might work better than you are giving it credit for. That is pretty good stuff. Not cheap, though.

Maybe another tactic...is this a safe you would need to get into, like, ever? Or is this for documents someone would only need if you died? If that is the case, then cut a hole in a wall, put it in there, and re-drywall/re-paint the opening.

  Any of you Loungers ever secured a fire safe so that it can't be stolen? -- MP4VT2004 02/20/2018 7:40PM
  Mine weighs alot, not sure thieves are going to have the time or equipment -- fordham 02/21/2018 10:14AM
  The best idea, don't keep it in the closet closest to your side of the bed. -- thankbud 02/21/2018 08:25AM
  Hmm...I see your point. Perhaps I should reconsider... -- MP4VT2004 02/21/2018 10:00AM
  Build a metal cage/brackets around the fire safe. You can put some holes -- Hokie360 02/20/2018 10:13PM
  My Gardall has mounting holes in the bottom to secure to concrete slab. -- MikeVT85 02/20/2018 8:53PM

  In keeping with HS kids from MD, fulminated mercury? ** -- EDGEMAN 02/20/2018 8:01PM
  Whoa...that's heavy, man. ** -- MP4VT2004 02/20/2018 7:57PM
  I doubt you are going to find a glue strong enough -- Tafkam Hokie 02/20/2018 7:49PM
  Unfortunately since it's a fire safe, no holes. -- MP4VT2004 02/20/2018 7:54PM
