I had to move one of these safes. It took a forklift to do it in the end. When we got it open, the bottom drawer was loaded with weight lifting weights. The Chief told me when he got back from down range, that NO ONE WILL STEAL MY PISTOL! We thought the darn thing was attached to the floor of the building!
Let me tell you a safe story...
I've found all kinds of interesting things in safes,

I got into safes when I needed a gunsafe in short order and bought some GSA containers at auction. In those days, they slagged the locks before they'd sell the safes and so I learned how to install modern group 2 safe locks.
One thing led to another, and I found myself learning safe cracking. I started buying locked safes and manipulating the locks open. The first one I cracked "in the wild" was a safe sold by the Phoenix school district. I also bought a locked one from the Louisville VA and got it open. I was hooked...
I'm not limited to government safes. I buy antiques and old bank safes and anything else interesting.
I bought a modern TL30 from a guy in SD. He got it from an old guy who died with a safe collection, and mentioned that some of them were locked and some of them were open, and that another mutual friend of theirs has ended up with a locked manganese safe from the collection. So i called the guy right then and there and made a deal to come back and get it.
Fast forward two weeks, and I had the safe in my possession, flat on it's back in the bed of Redtruck, still locked from God knows when. All 3500lbs of it. I began to wish I had taken the 5ton, but i got it home.
The next day, I began trying to manipulate the lock. This is a bank grade safe, and I didn't really think I'd be successful, but after a couple of hours i got it unlocked, but I couldn't lift the door with it on its back.
So that day's project was to get the safe out of the truck so that I could open the door. I tried to rig the crane on the M936A2 to lift and right it at the same time. It was working, and the safe was suspended about a foot off the bed and a strap broke. It slammed into Redtruck like a wrecking ball.
I gave up trying to right it, and just lifted it out with the crane and placed it on its back in the field. I braced it and jerked it upright with the Redtruck and a strap.
The moment had finally come. I turned the gear drive and unscrewed the door and swung it open on the C-Arm. What was inside? The safe dates from prior to 1907. Could be anything inside...
The door opened. And staring me in the face were two glass shatter vials. The safe was boobytrapped. Antitamper device. One vial contained Chloropicrin, and the other Phosgene. Nasty stuff.
It's truly a wonder i didn't trigger it with all the rough handling the safe received. Sometimes you just get lucky.
