Good thinking here? "Wall Mounted" safe.
Just rip "off" the wall and be out 1 laptop and 1safe.
Dibbs, would you rather have a regular safe? So they take the safe outta your house and you're still out 1 laptop and 1 safe.
Been contemplating similar things myself recently with a need to install a new safe near a high traffic business area after the *tool* who was in charge of the last safe decided to move it but didn't bother to bolt it down again... and the !@#$% thing had WHEELS on it too so they just wheeled it out even though it weighed > 200lbs.
If you're picking a small safe anyway, it seems odd to bolt to a floor then crawl on hands and knees to open it. If someone has access to the safe anyway, the options were are they going to pick or drill the thing open which is effected by the quality of the safe you pick not whether wall or floor mount, OR they have access to power tools and the other side of the wall or floor you mounted it to.
It is not so easy and quick to pull a wall mounted safe out of the wall if you've firmly attached it to reinforced wall studs. A pry bar may work, but I think it'd just be used to force the door open instead and it would be quicker/easier to use a grinder to grind through the floor bolts on a floor mounted model since they are exposed. Same could be done on a wall safe of course, but you have to rip the plaster or wallboard off to expose the bolts, grind them off, and drive them into the safe on both sides.
Well, I mean on fancier recessed safes, this on just appears to have rear screw mounts directly through the wallboard into the existing studs. It's light duty protection for sure but anything costing only $45 will be. The thief will still need some tools or a baseball bat/etc to get it off, which would tend to defeat the purpose since your typical laptop won't handle that much shock. Think I'd want a cordless sawzall/reciprocating saw for this safe to just saw sideways behind into the wallboard and screws. If it'd been a few inches wider that would be much more difficult, but still sawing through the studs would be easy yet noisy... and potenti... [Truncated]
