Anyone ever had one broken into, stolen, or go through a house fire? If you've had one broken into or stolen, any idea on what features a safe could have that would have prevented it? Pure speculation on my part but my guess is they aren't near as hard to get into as we would like to think.

Depends on what quality of safe. The tractor supply and academy ones will slow them down but they'll get in them. I did a ton of research and decided on the Liberty fatboy 64 based on a lot of reading and videos. It's much much better built that the box store "safes". I did look at the higher end Amsec ones and some others but didn't want to throw $5000+ at it. Fire rating and protection is what I look at. If anyone has enough time and tools they'll get into any of them.

On a serious note, had a friend in college that had one stolen out of the garage. They took it like you see people take atm machines. Wrapped it in chain and floored the truck. Ripped it right off the floor.

That Beaver Blue pit is ready to do work anytime you want to come this way!

I have one for the following reasons:
1. Keep my wife from seeing all the guns and ammo I've accumulated.
2. Keep my kids and more importantly their friends from my guns, ammo and other valuables. They are curious little critters after all.
3. Slow down a thief if my home were to get broken into.

There is a lot of videos on YouTube that go over some good points. I posted one on here several years ago you might can find.
