Safe Cracking

okay, how about a case of beer then?

That would mibbe help.

We’d have a go, our watch had to get into a safe that the cops took along to the station they they recovered. took a while but we got in, it wasn’t pretty afterwards, depends if we can get the spreaders in.

…and there was nothing in the safe that the cops took along

Are you in yet?

Wow, I had a sudden flashback to Friday night…

Ask George…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Reynolds_(business)

He did some safebreaking for the likes of Charlie Kray & other well know bad lads in the 60’s. He now lives in Durham & I bet he’d know how to get into it!

don’t open it, get it on ebay as it is, i bet it’ll go for a fortune! the world is full of greedy people….

Between the inner and outer, shells of a safe the vois is usually filled with insulation, steel and cast iron bars and anything else thy have handy to stop drilling and penetration by an angle grinder

Looking at the age of the safe did they have portable angle grinders back when it was made… ????

Your right but its worth bearing in mind that they did have asbestos

what would happen if you put it in one of those car crushers that you get in scrapyards (like the one in Superman)

As far as I can tell from the films, the method’s quite simple.
You will need :
An ageing ex-con with a heart of gold
A bespectacled geek who can hack into any computer system simply by typing ‘Access Override’
A large tough-looking black guy who’s actually very gentle and abhors violence
A glamorous girl in a tight fitting black cat suit

The girl then dangles from the ceiling on a rope with a complicated looking drill whilst the ex-con tells her that there’s only 5 minutes left but she can do it if she stays calm.

Note that this may only work if the safe is owned by an evil baddie who framed the ex-con in the first place and left the only evidence that can prove his innocence in the safe.

Hope this helps.

+1 for drilling in the right place, we had a locksmith break into one once. His charge was something complicated, basicly a high hourly rate, but if the safe turned out to have less than his charge he’d take that instead. Spose it worked onthe basis an expensive hard to get into safe takes longer but usualy has somethign worth while in it. So unless he horibly underquoted the job he got his money and the client got some peace of mind they wouldnt be out of pocket.

He just drilled in the right place (just above the lock) and something clicked open inside. Apparently if that had failed it was down to brute force.

I’ve WD-40’d the lock to no effect

Conclusion = insufficient WD40

Make sure you do it from a safe place 🙂

How sure are you its not the safe from the ‘lovely bones’?

This ought to do it:

Try Ebay for a s/h one, it’ll be cheaper.

And if it doesn’t open the safe, then you probably don’t need to worry because the all out nuclear holocaust that follows your detonation of the device will probably render the contents of the safe un-important……. 😉

(pretty sure that should be enough “key words” to interest Echelon btw)

Check if the back of it is as solid as the rest…a lot of safes were built into walls meaning the door was the most solid, the rest not so much. Some dodgy characters I used to know referred to them as ‘peely backs’ and would crack the back open with an axe (not sure what kind of axe?!?)!

Average ST forumites then.

Other than the glamourous girl…………… 😉

Ok, so tried some more WD40 (didn’t have time to get penetrating stuff, nor the confidence to order it without smirking)… Nothing.

So gave the mole grips a go…

Oh FFS!!!!

So what happened?

Is he locked inside now ?

So gave the molgrip a go

How did he help?

They didn’t work.

So I tried with both molegrips and wiggling the key… and that did work.

No glow emanating from within = sad panda

*is on seat edge*

The suspenders are killing me.

Is it empty? Is it?

TELL US WHAT’S IN THE SAFE!

Narnia? if so keep away from Tumnus, the fella cant be trusted.

Arrrggghhhhh come on we’re all waiting- there’s more people watching this thread with baited breath even fergie and mourinho are watching it

*hand in the air waving furiously*

I mentioned to use the molgrips, it was me who opened it by proxy!!!

WHATS INSIDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK OK CMON JUST OPEN IT AND TELL US DAMN IT!

I can’t believe I’m wasting my evening watching a thread on a bike forum about a man opening a safe. I love STW.

Fergie “The OP is making us wait”
Mourinho ” this OP is playing zee mind games yes”

Well… it wasn’t empty.

But there wasn’t any gold…. something better.

Actually not better at all. But more intriguing. Slightly.

oooh what’s in the bag? awesome thread!

You are an evil man!

Why would you put a bag of awesome thread in a safe? Someone really takes their embroidery seriously.

A TSB Bank bag?

you’re ronnie biggs 😯

More like Derek Smalls.

The door is open, he looked inside and was mesmerised by the bright light drawing him in like a myriad of stars glistening like pieces of quicksilver cast ceaselesley on the black velevet looking interior.

His mind raced at the thought of expensive jewels or Campag or shimano bike parts.

He tried to close the door,but was being drawn more and more into the ebony void of infinite space, then sudenly without warning a voice was heard behid him, shouting,

“YOUR DINNERS ON THE TABLE, LEAVE THAT BLOODY SAFE ALONE”.

(sorry, I appear to have wandered into the Wise Cracking thread by mistake)
