Who’s Jaime Pressly?

Anyway, bolt those safes to the floor, people. Or the wall. Or both.

If a thief can pick it up and carry it out, the safe is way too small.

A guy I know has his gun safe sitting outside the front door to his doublewide (in a rural area). It’s a well built safe, so it’s quite heavy empty, but load enough guns and lead into it and a small crane is needed to move it.

An additional thought regarding bolting a safe to the floor or wall, if whoever is anchoring it doesn’t bolt it to the studs or floor joists, might as well not even bother. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the average contractor/handyman would skip this step, if the homeowner wants the safe positioned in a spot where any pre-drilled holes in the safe do not line up with the framing.
