Well, many people bolt their safe to their house. That adds some time for the thief to abscond with it. But I don't think "not meant to be secure anyway" is an excuse for "designed with a trivial security flaw." I mean, am I still supposed to trust what the manufacturer says about its fire resistance?

Most small desktop fire safes, like the one in this post, don’t have the provisions to do that unless you modify them.

These safes usually have a rating to be resistant to fire, but they usually lack any burglary-resistance ratings.

Burglary rated safes are expensive. They’re more expensive than the crap most homeowners want to put inside of their safe.
