Cheap security is not security.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

"Security" just gives you a false sense of security :-\ :-\ :-\

Physical security is not much different than computer security, it's almost impossible to keep out a determined and knowledgeable professional. Meanwhile it doesn't take much to keep out the riff raff. Some folks I know go to extremes to secure their wifi network, I don't do anything beyond setting up WPA2 and changing the admin password, if a real wifi expert wants in they can get in, I'm just keeping out the nosy neighbor, lol. If you have something you don't trust a standard safe to keep safe then you might want to consider a safe deposit box at the bank.

My cousin is a locksmith and works with the state police quite often to open safes seized in raids. It usually takes less than an hour for a full sized gun safe.  He can open those cheapo fire safes with a paper clip. He claims to never look in them though. I wouldn't be able to resist a little peek.
I remember he had to open an old bank vault door once after the property was sold. That one took a week,  7 - $100 carbide drill bits, and detailed blueprints from the manufacturer. He had to make sure not to drill into the glass tubes of tear gas they put in there for added safety. 
I have nothing but scorn for all weird ideas other than my own.
