This pack is made for shock and will go off if the vial pack is drilled through or the safe is struck hard. Care must be taken while moving old safes with this device in them as if they are jarred the pack will break the tips of the vials off. It is generally best if moving a safe to remove the vial pack and store packed well in a sealed container until it can be disposed of.
As I recall, the safe door was peeled from the left upper corner. Failing that, they peeled both the side and upper walls around it. I think the concrete stopped them cold. Didn''t know how to deal with it.
I only found one vial, and it was about 2/3 of the size of the one's pictured.
Old safe too, at least from the looks of it. I can almost see Edward G. Robinson telling his boys to "blow it".
Wow! I made a thread everybody likes. I matter! I'm a citizen! WoooHooo!
It also illustrates my point that people have an interest in safes... as much as they do picking locks while munching on a cheeseburger and text messaging their girlfriend in Omaha. All at the same time.
Maybe someday, we could have a forum here that also deals with this subject? One that is a watered down, "get to know a little" place where people like me can come and discuss such things, without the fear of getting the thread locked. (Anyone besides me, see the irony of locking something here?)
Just a thought.
Let the petition begin here.
