Where are you moving to and from? Perhaps there are some guys along the way that might have an actual vault or two that could hold them for you or help move them for you? I bet we got some guys that would be willing to help. I know I housed two 8’ truck beds worth of Guns and ammo in one of my vaults for a friend of mine when he moved across country.
This is what I'm going to end up doing when I go from TX to AZ. Guns will be in my vehicle in assorted cases, and go into the hotel room with me. I don't give a fuck what looks I get when I'm gonna be hauling in multiple pelicans and soft cases LOL. Everyone can eat a dick.
ghetto goblins dont need a crystal ball....they will steal anything that isnt bolted down.....they know a moving trailer is likely to at least contain some electronics, maybe some jewlery.......and a trailer is the easiest thing in the world to steal......just back up your car next to the trailer, unhook and rehook, then drive off.....you are gone in under a minute without making a sound.
Yep. Had the passenger side window busted out in my Silverado, in an appartment lot, while we were having out house built. Ransacked the glove box, never opened the door- because, factory alarm. Probably looking for a gun or cash (I mean what self respecting pickup owner doesn't have a pistol in the glove box?). The only thing of value (my Oakleys) were knocked into the floorboard where the thief couldn't reach them. The person(s) hit about a dozen cars in that lot that night. Same MO. No one heard anything. Glass doesn't make much noise, not enough to hear from inside a building, across a parking lot. And, with those rescue pen spring loaded glass break things being as common as they are, breaking automotive glass is a simple affair.
In the LEO business we used to call Harbor Freight the Burglars Choice in tools.
Risky. I guess it must have worked out. I've moved with moving companies several times and they will not move firearms or any hazmat stuff. That guy was lucky as if there was an accident or any other issue where it would be revealed that there were firearms, I would bet your friend would have been out of luck for any loss insurance wise from the moving company, and the moving company crew would probably be in big trouble too.
I've moved my own; but, I even get a bit paranoid when anybody is in my house. I'm looking to have floors done and I know that I may just not have the one room done. Between safe and ammo, people can deduce. Kinda scary. Moving adds another level or 3 of potential theft.
Yeah, I have somewhat of this problem. Need to have my basement finished as I’ve been trying to get to some of it for 5 years now. I just want it done. The problem is, whoever does it will see one of the vaults, like you can’t miss it, it’s an 8’ tall and I dunno 5’ wide door and for this reason the basement still has not been finished in. The idea is to do a hidden Door wall and then finish in that room and close it off from the rest. So that way when the workers come they will just think that one room is an office or something. However, the flooring people will know. Cause I will have to have someone in there to get the flooring of the entire downstairs to match.
Yeah, regardless the door will have to be opened. My dad had a safe and he built "furniture" to hold the safe. It was still obvious to anybody what was in it because the people who built the cabinet didn't do a good job; but the point was to make it look like built in cabinetry with drawers and stuff. Like a huge armoire.
Yeah I have 2 safes. One weighs about 800 (1/4" thick steel box, almost a "B" rated safe) the other about 1300 (document vault
) empty. Add in 200-400 pounds of bullshit into each one and lag bolted into foundation. Good luck moving that shit.Browning prosteel here. I think it's right at 900 lbs unloaded. Is it a great safe; no, but I think they'd have to cut their way through because it's not going anywhere. To get it in, was a major PITA, so getting it out they'll have to take the door frame out. I think we had 1/4" each side to get it through the door and it comes out at an angle. I've wondered myself just how it will come out if and when I move. Next safe may well be an AMSEC, but a smaller one.Yeah I have 2 safes. One weighs about 800 (1/4" thick steel box, almost a "B" rated safe) the other about 1300 (document vault
Gonna be a bitch to move.
I'm gonna empty them and have them shipped freight LOL. I'll order a LTL freight mover like XPO to show up, pick up, and deliver a few days later. Probably cost me $800-1000 to move both at the same time, but whatever
You need to stop that forward-thinking/pre-planning shit. You're gonna scare my millennial brethren away.
