When a thief doesn't have much time, it's helpful to them so they can quickly zero in on where the valuable things are.If a talented thief has enough time they can break into any safe. But if it can't stop a 9 year old, I'm not sure how helpful it is going to be….
Safes are actually rated by how many minutes a safe cracker can get into them. I talked to a business owner about this, and they judge a safe by how long it takes to get into the safe, and how long it takes the police to arrive at their business.If a talented thief has enough time they can break into any safe.

How does this work?You never want a paper trail from a safe purchase leading back to your house, because burglars always get a hold of those records, and target those homes. I've known a few people that were burglarized within weeks of buying a safe. Safes are anything but safe for valuables. You're always better off with a hidden location for valuables.
Even utility workers and possibly your kids friends will case your house.How does this work?
What paper trail, the purchase receipt? Im not certain how a theif would get that and if thry could wouldnt they want to move onto a different house without a safe?
Underwriters Labs rates safes but their ratings are skewed. Believe it or not, a very highly rated safe TLTR-30x6 allows for 30 minutes to open on any side, which is really not possible or accurateSafes are actually rated by how many minutes a safe cracker can get into them.
