That’s pretty much how mine looks too. I got a chance to talk to a locksmith the other day, and he winced when I told him about the safe. Apparently it’s gonna be a pain for him to drill out. After that, I’ll have a very heavy paperweight. Maybe I’ll get a buddy or three to help me take it to the range for curiosity’s sake.

I do believe I heard that when the relockers kick in, the safe is no longer usable. My Home Owners will cover my safe as well as contents in case of break in or damage to safe. If you have renters insurance you may want to check with them. I suppose my insurance doesn't mind paying for a new safe if they save 10 times that amount in stolen guns.

It might be a fun day at the range or a long stay at the hospital from ricochets.

But when the base weight is combined with the contents and the ammo cans on top, it easily pushes 1000lbs. As for how it was attacked, I'm not quite sure. It appears that the thief didn't even try moving it. If I had to guess, the thief cranked on the handle hard enough to activate the relocker. This is based on the lack of any kind of tool marks on the exterior of the safe, and the fact that my emergency keys seem to work, but with no motion of the handle.
