What did you accomplish today?

[tyler.durden]

If its metal, a battery operated angle grinder will go thru it pretty fast.

For most locks, I'd agree, but there's some (like in the vid I posted) where that would be a very long, and very difficult job (special alloy, too small to gain leverage, shrouded shackle for tight entry, etc..) Easier to cut into the locker door. Again, with all the units with joke locks around said small 5x5 locker, they'd need to know what was in our hero's unit to even attempt it. No?

Friends break some serious locks to ride dirt bikes on the weekend. Govt and some big forestry shrouded locks. But yes you want to know or at least suspect something.
Battery operated angle grinders cut shit ..thick shit..fast

and FWIW, the bank did open one of my SDB by "accident" some years back. They were nice about the error, gave me a free year's rent AND did a complete inventory of contents (coin collection). I'm not sure what would have happened if it was full of nothing but cash/gems/gold bars though.

and yeah, you're right that there are a shit ton of storage lockers out there. i always pay mine a year up front and don't worry too much about the content's safety.

I do like the secure vault idea, closest one to me is 70 miles away though.

Your friends sound like great guys It is not logical to take that time/effort/risk on a random shot. Plus, whatever else they have their not getting into, or taking, that Hollon safe...

i agree with ya im just sayin 100k is allot of cash. its allot of cash. Once the safe is gone..its gone, they will get it out.
Dont trust no cunt.
People get away with less $ in armed robberies.

Yes, but again, if they were to get as far as the safe (which they don't know is there), they don't know what is in that safe. There's no way they came to rob some storage facility units and brought along the equipment necessary to remove that safe from concrete. C'mon now...

They're dead. They betrayed me...

I woulldent trust the storage facility for a couple of reasons.
One he has to involved someone else. Padlocks take 3o secs to break or 1 min to grind off with a batt angle grinder). The said friend could do this, substituent his own lock and then spend time (if he needed) to get the safe free. 100k is some serious money to trust someone with, especial if your in jail,,, Staff members may twig when he is coming and going but not moving much stuff around, staff would pick up on habits and may even be looking for this type of scenario. Due to the series in the main.

Yes, the weakest link to this scenario is the friend. He would not tell them what he intends to put in the locker, just that they're his belongings. I've had many storage lockers for myself and family. Minimum wage storage staff doesn't look for, or care about, shit. Unless there is a problem like a robbery, fire, or police request. Plus, all comings and goings would be after staff hours of 6pm - 7am, when there's no staff around. 24 hour access, baby. He may just hunt around for another connect for a fake id. He had a guy at the DMV, but they caught on to all that and the entire system changed...

I read that as batman eggs... I was like- Dafuq are batma... Oh! Bantam. Like the chicken. I swear I has the lysdexia some days.

I have to agree with LL about SF's.

ok this got me thinking, check this place out

Looks cool, must be a Cali thing. Nothing like that in the midwest afaik. I like the idea of regular storage facility's partly because of security by obscurity, a concept that has worked out very well for me so far...

You know exactly what would have happened

I'm writing this short story about a young, handsome, intelligent grower who has accumulated over 100k cash from his adventures. He's been keeping it in his apartment in various places, but he wants to get it out of there in case of fire, theft, or getting busted and avoid losing it all. At the same time he needs to have regular access to it, adding and subtracting to it as necessary. And, of course, it can't be associated with his identity because if he goes down, it will, too. He's looked into safe deposit boxes, but has read horror stories of banks losing records and opening them for various reasons - mistaken non-payment, gov't request, etc.. Even if it were in a friend's name, he'd have to truly trust that person. Fuck that. The safest thing I've been able to come up with for our protagonist is a small storage unit a la walter white. He would pay annually, a year in advance, have a heavy duty, $200 security padlock, and a small pro safe that is bolted to the concrete floor, encased in a cardboard box with other boxes of crap stacked on top. He would also have a hanging sign on the inside of the shed that said to contact him for payment before taking further action, on the off chance that management mistakenly opened it. Even if he wasn't able to get the storage unit under an alias and rented it under a trusted friend's name, that friend wouldn't have easy access to the unit with the pro padlock and bolted down safe. His cash seems safe from fire, theft, and feds. You guys are smart, so what am I missing for our hero? Better alternatives are very welcome...

Our hero has $30k in the bank and always about 7k cash at home, not to mention over 100 sog plants (50-250 same penalty in his area), so it would already be a nice little, believable score for leo. I've been doing research for my story. There are shrouded padlocks that start at about $250 to over $400 that are virtually pick proof and cut proof. With these locks the weak security point now becomes the storage locker door itself, as it's much easier to penetrate than the padlock. Larger units around our protagonist have $20 big box joke locks on them, the likes of the Master brand, someone would almost need to know what was in his unit to make it worth it. If they were to get in, now they have to find and deal with pro safe, and they'll have to deal with it on the spot since it's 300 pounds and bolted into concrete. Good luck with all that, they'd deserve the fucking 100k. Thanks for playing devil's advocate...

Something like this safe - https://www.thesafekeeper.com/hollon-fb-450eburglary-safe2-hour-fireelectronic-lock.html

Tyler I don't really have the answer your looking for, but I do have a few things to think about.

1 . My uncle has a logging co. and he doesn't trust banks with all his money for a variety of reasons. So he keeps a large cash savings and on day back in the '90s he was going to buy some equipment at auction and had 90,000.00 in the trunk . Well out of nowhere he's pulled over by unmarked car ( Marshalls ) and they said where you going with all that money , he said I don't know what your talking about , and they said you've got 90,000.00 in the trunk we seen it when you drove by.
Turns out that the magnetic strips are detectable .

2 I'm in construction and I have built several storage units , if someone had a reason to think you have something worth stealing they can break into the unit next to yours , no matter what lock you get.

3 if you do get busted someone has to keep up the rent or it'll be auction off .

Just trying to help .

Maybe a money laundering is in order.

My brain does the same thing if I get to reading to fast .lol
But truthfull I've struggled with minor dyslexia my whole life.. Read shit like kratom as katrom ( something I did earlier)lol my brain just puts certain letters in different orders so if im not careful I say shit and write shit wrong. Which is an accomplishment for me everyday..lol

 

[Singlemalt]

So, essentially, Batman is a monotreme?

Interesting, never crossed my mind. I know almost nothing about it. How secure are those accounts? Are they regulated? Are they tied to one's identity in any way? How would he get the cash to them to convert? Can you think of any downside? Thanks for the idea, Annie..
