[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 769355, member: 39764"] Actually, I'm in the middle of a remote area though going south 15 miles puts you in Toledo and north about 60 miles is Detroit. I'm 1.5 miles off the paved road on a dirt road with no neighbors to speak of so if a car comes down the road, it's usually a local and we all know who drives what. Just 2 miles south of Cabelas in Dundee. Close enough to poor. I have a backhoe too. Case Extenda-hoe.:D I've always wondered about the 'fireproof' safes. I have a Diebold Jewelry safe for the wife's stuff and it's walls are at least a foot thick as well as the door. You open it up and look at the small space inside, about big enough for a cigar box. It weighs at least 700 pounds, maybe more and it's only 3 foot high x 3 foot deep by 3 foot wide. I would imagine it would survive a fire with no issue....but don't want to find out. It's more of a burgular thing. She has lots of nice stuff....including me.:) Most of the fireproof gun safes I see advertised have a one hour fire rating. I don't see where 60 minutes is enough and whats the temperature inside after 60 minutes? Wood (as in stocks) ignites well below the melting point of metals, I think, could be wrong but around 600 degrees??? [/QUOTE]
