I've found a well-made safe bolted to the floor generally defeats most people.
Well concealed floor safes > all other safes.
Safes dont stop thieves, only slow them down. Slow thieves are still screwing around with an angle grinder when you come to introduce them to your pals Smith & Wesson.
If you're a good thief, not much is going to stop you.
If you're a bad thief, then I don't know what you're talking about.
I picked up a used commercial safe last year, the things weighs 1,750 pounds. It took 4 grown men and a lot of ingenuity just to get it off the trailer. Needless to say I didn’t bolt it to the floor.
I have always rolled them on pieces of pipe.

Yeah, I did the same. Cut up a bunch of 1/2” iron pipe and rolled it on the ground. It was easy moving it once we got it off the trailer.
I found a tiny safe in an older home in a rich jewish neighborhood. It was slightly smaller than a shoe box but it wasnt bolted down i dont think. I took an angle grinder to the back of it and opened it up because i could hear stuff rattling around in it. It was the god damn screws you're supposed to use to bolt it down and the instruction manual. Fucking hell, that thing itself was probably worth a few bucks.
