I have broken into some of the older machines without any of this crazy stuff. Wow, they were able to keep it usable again… thats awesome! ---

Yep, the hole is just larger than 1/4" just enough for the micro tools and camera to go into. It is then filled with a putty that hardens like steel, mixed with the fragments of the drill bits that shatter during the drilling process. The bit fragments make it so that if someone thinks they are clever and try to drill in the same spot they won’t get very far. Once it is drilled once it is done. You must drill in a very precise spot which still triggers the shock alarm but hits just above a pin you must hold in order to manual open. It is a huge pain in the ass as there are a ton of wires and if you hit any of them the safe is toast and will have to be cut open. ---

> [@ILC](#): > > Depending on how serious the safe is… it might just come down to having to cut through the side of it. which by normal means… good luck I think with some heavy tools, a basic understanding of safe mechanics and time you can break in to pretty much any safe. A safe is “safe” because your typical robber isn’t going to have the advantages you have as the owner: 1. Unlimited time 2. No noise constraints 3. Any tools you want to use 4. The ability to research the specific make/model of safe If I had a safe like Viper’s parents I’d be willing to bet good money with anyone that eventually I’d get into it. Pretty sure I’d eventually get into that 2000lb one as well as long as I didn’t have to worry about it ever working again. There’s a big difference between the guys who got $4000 for 4 hours work to crack into a bank safe without permanently damaging it compared to “just get it open, we don’t care what happens to it”. ---

There’s a big difference between the guys who got $4000 for 4 hours work to crack into a bank safe without permanently damaging it compared to “just get it open, we don’t care what happens to it”. You have the ambition and drive to get in it. Viper’s parents, probably just don’t give a shit enough to crack it open, nor do they really want to spend all the effort you would. Its probably still down there because its just too fucking heavy to move. I know I would be pretty pissed, well if the satisfaction of getting the fucker open didn’t make me happy, If I spent days of effort getting it open to see it was cleaned out before it was left behind by the previous owners. Just think, now you have to get a big pile of shit out of the basement cause its a huge eye sore instead of just a nice looking safe. You aren’t going to just cut it into piece either. ---
