Thanks for sharing these pics. For those of us in apartments, we have a little bit of an advantage due to the level of noise this would make.
Again, can we get some more info about the pics? Just showing us a busted open safe is useless as any safe can be opened, it's the how it was opened that is important.
I spoke with James Stodd of Summit Safes recently about safes, body and door thickness, etc. He told me he's been dealing with safes for 20+ years. He says he's seen some 12g and a few 10g safes successfully attacked but has never seen a 3/16" or thicker safe successfully broken into. Doesn't mean it can't happen but it doesn't seem very likely.
Doug Tarter of Ft Knox told me you need three things to successfully pry open a safe. One is a flexible body, two is a flexible door, and three is inadequate locking bolts.
I don't know who James is, but what? 20 years in the safe business and he's never seen anything heavier than 3/16" broken into? Quick, send him the link to this other thread just a few posts down so that he can get up to speed. It's a fellow THR member (amateur) breaking into a burglary rated safe: 1" plate, and 3" of concrete around it:

While true, what he is saying is subjective. What is flexible with a screwdriver is not the same as what is flexible with a pry bar. What is flexible with a pry bar is not the same as what is flexible with a porta power.
