    I purchased a Liberty USA 23 for my needs. It is 12 gauge steel which would take quite a while for someone to cut through. Paid extra couple of hundred dollars to have it placed in basement. They drilled and installed four 8” bolts into concrete floor. It’s not going anywhere. Safe was $1500 plus tax. All added up around $2000.

    Lessons learned from my end...

    I had a LARGE heavy duty gun safe in the basement - but dumbie (me!) didn't bolt it to the floor...

    So, when thieves broke in about a dozen years ago, they tipped the safe "face down" and used MY circular saw from the garage to cut into the back - which is evidently the weakest spot...

    So, echoing above, you *DO* want to bolt it to the floor! :)

    I got room in the basement but wonder how it would do if a Sump Pump failed ? We have battery backups etc but it’s always at the back of my mind and why we have hard wood and tile down there. Appreciate the inputs gentlemen

    Wow - they ever find the thieves ? Did insurance cover what you lost ? This happened in Illinois ?

    Brown Safe was great to work with. They can customize pretty much anything you want. www.Brownsafe.com Also, you are statistically much more likely to need a safe for a fire as opposed to a break in (not to say a break in can’t happen). Make sure the safe is fire rated appropriately…this also drives up the cost.
