My run of Misfourtune

[Alscott]

You might remember a couple weeks ago where my hard drive crashed and I lost probably about $500 in software, documents, music and other stuff. Well I have been making progress finding and recovering files, it's just been very slow. Well tonight I lost more.

I tried to open my safe tonight to get my flash drive. I put all my important and expensive files in a flash drive and I keep it in a fire-proof safe just in case. Well the safe was so full I couldn't open it. So I tried turning the key a little more to the left when *snap* the key breaks and gets jammed in the lock. So now i'm out a $200 safe and I have to find a way to destroy the lock or pay a ton of money to hire somebody to do it. Everything in there was an electronic, probably near $1k of stuff that took me forever to get.

Does anybody know what I can do about this?

Lure burglars and hide, when they open it take them down. No, that's a troll-theory.

I guess it depends on how good the safe is, maybe a welder could get through it if the quality isn't superb. Ofcourse that's dangerous if it would get through, it might hit the content also.

hmm... call the manufacturer. That's a really tough situation.

[revolv3r]

how can the safe be so full it wont open?

then the key breaks?

You could contact the manufacturer, but I think any welder could easily get into it. Doesnt sound like the safe is that good.

It wasn't too good of a safe. I took me two minutes to break into it about an hour ago. Lost over $200 though.
