There is a lot of false security that goes with modern gun safes...they work well for amateur smash and grabs but if a smart thief with tools shows up it probably wont matter what you bought.
Exactly. I, I mean my friend, doesn't have backup coming in x-minutes. Those ratings of "so many dudes with these tools" don't apply when they have lots of time with the box. The box is more of an insurance tool and child-proofing.

I will admit, the fancy ones are very shiny and fancy looking...
