Safes in the price range you mention and even double that can be opened with a fire ax in a few minutes! Unless you're talking 7guage or thicker it's a snap for them to get in. If you have not already done so I suggest you investigate exactly what UL does to test a safe that has its UL label applied and the manufacturer flaunts it in their marketing hype. UL uses strictly hand tools, 3-pound hammer, chisel, etc. and the length of the tool can not exceed 18". If these simple tools prevent a 4" hole in 5 minutes time the manufacturer gets the label....that's not protection in my book. Beware fire ratings as well.....manufacturers love to play marketing games with those. Do your homework and do it in depth unless you truly don't care about loss.
