Okay as amusing as this all is, I haven't scene the OP here in a while. No one has offered to send Frank to Sturdy at his usual rate, or to send a Sturdy to Frank and then pay him his usual rate to pop it. Until such time this is all a bit ridiculous. Reminds me of the caliber wars over in handguns, or the old "hate" threads that ran for a while. Lots of people going back and forth to no avail.
Frank has no incentive to tell all of you how he'd do it, as an LEO I appreciate him not doing so. Sturdy has no major incentive to actually have Frank do it, if it can be done (not commenting one way or the other). As both of he and Alyssa have already commented the Sturdy is a sturdy well built safe that features some good design elements. However NOTHING is burglar proof to someone with enough time, tools, or talent. A lot of people are circling the point rather then addressing it. I'd like to see a video of someone with a 1/2" plate and a normal 3' pry bar, showing the degree of flex possible with various fulcrum points, and various anchor points. I think that'd be much more instructive, then trying to lift 10K lbs.
Everyone has gotten hung up on the pry bar part, who cares? Most crooks don't carry any tools let a lone a pry bar (look up possession of burglary tools in your states penal code for why). If they're going to do it, their going to do it big, which means all sorts of interesting things, from the mundane to the very technical. Focusing on the pry bar, is sort of like getting into an argument about ambi-safeties on a 1911 in regards to fighting in Iraq during Fallujuh. There is a very minute chance that it is relevant.
In the end if Sturdy wants Frank to stop talking, send him a safe, hire a video crew and pay him to try to get in. If he can't you have an awesome video for your company, if he can hire him to pop a couple other safes and hope yours takes the longest.
