I sold safes for some years and I still stand by the bolt to the wall method of securing one. Bolts into a floor are good, but a person can use the leverage of the safe to break them off or pull them out of the floor. A nice assortment of about 3" lag bolts into the studs of the wall, and it will really make it tougher to get the safe loose and they couldn't rock it.
