Here we go: "Safe Storage of Safes"

Damn now I'll need to start keeping my safe in a safe, just to be safe.

Lol!!!!!
You get what you get!
I worked at Pro Steal in college. They make all the Browning safes. Those suckers are heavy! Mines only 975lbs. There's much heavier.
Had to love those around on a eye hook slider system.

Crime scene photos just released!

Homeowner didn't realize the safe he bought included it's own theft prevention system.

Truly a crappy way to die. Exhale and not be able to inhale. Not saying he didn't bring it on himself but ...... How do you tip over a 900 lb safe by yourself?

 

[Lazyfaire]

So it was very unsafe safe?
The legislature is coming...

Was there a CA sticker on it saying that it contains dangerous metals that might cause death or injury???

 

[Lazyfaire]

Earlier in this thread questions were asked if this may have been an Acme safe.

Being that burglar was identified as Jeremiah Disney, I would highly doubt it, remember the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote are Looney Tunes employees and I suspect that their contracts would preclude sharing suppliers or script details.

Mind you this may explain why Disney did not survive the falling safe.

Maybe the Looney Tunes employees said "let me hold this up while you check underneath". Then scratched his nose.

I admit my earlier response (laughing/pointing smiley) is rather cold. The guy found himself in the express lane. Checking out.
The outcome in his way of life, did not play out as he anticipated. Very unfortunate.

End Game.

Expect a lawsuit against homeowner from relathieves who have lost "beloved one" in this "tragic accident"

They'll probably try to sue the safe manufacturer too

I can't feel pity for self-inflicted wounds. The guy made a choice and paid the price. I don't understand how the family could sue the homeowner, when the guy shouldn't have been in there messing with stuff that wasn't his, but hey...common sense went out the window quite some time ago.

At this point, I think the poor fellow would be delighted to have Prop 65 cancer...

 

[Mica]

Yeah, I read the OP about when it was posted and thought "I love a happy ending," but then someone introduced the notion of compassion for the dead, so I slunk away until now.
I am not cold hearted. In most cases I would show compassion for the dying. But the dead. Especially a crook. Just doesn't happen.

The lawsuit should be about a lonney tune criminal Last name Disney, trying to steal a safe and Looney tune story. Wille Coyote, I believe wasn't owned by Disney. Copyright infringement?

900 pound gorilla's and safes are dangerous.

Sleazebag burglar removed in a darkly poetic way ... candidly, no fornications given. Though that older fellow really needs to clean out that garage. Yeesh.

The police/morgue created a path when they removed the body.

I'm really confused how he managed to do this. Even if you're trying to steal the safe would you pull the top end towards yourself? Even if he did, that would be difficult to do with a 900 lb safe unless you're the Mountain from GOT.

There must've been a 2nd guy who was pushing from the other side. After it crushed the guy his "friend" must've just left him there.

Am betting on a 2nd perp. A perp who is lying very low, as he is facing homicide/manslaughter charges now.

See, yet another reason to get a safe bigger than you think you need.

 

[titsonritz]

An autopsy will be preformed to determine exact cause of death, just in case the old hippie doped him and put him under the safe.

My antique safe is not bolted down, it has wheels and weighs over a ton. If it has wheels it would be easier to tip. Not sure why you would want to tip it but I doubt he was alone.
