Thread: Police at it again

I was waiting at the arms office for a license renewal and was behind a gent asking how to secure his new safe in his new (to be built) house. Officer was reading the "rules" regarding chem set etc when I piped up and asked "Have you poured the concrete for the wall yet?" He said "No". So I suggested that it could be a good idea to fit some large U bolts into the concrete around the reinforcing and hold it on place by bassing it through the boxing and bolting it in place to the boxing. The the officer asked "How would you chem set it?" to which I replied "Why would you? The only way to remove a U bolt would be to destroy the wall as the bolt passes through the core structure." I then suggested the best time to fit any fastening for attaching a safe is at the building stage rather than retro fit it later. Also suggested it would be a damn sight stronger than any chemset etc. Also suggested to run internal trunking inside the concrete for a power socket inside the cabinet and for alarm cables for a door sensor while you were at it. Cop looked at me like I was some sort of guru. I made some remark about it being simple common sense and all it took was a little fore thought.
