And I thought I was the only only who saw "Thief".

I wouldn't be too worried about a thief with a thermal lance - if they have that kind of equipment I'm sure they'd be looking to bigger marks than me. Besides, I'm guessing it would probably destroy quite a bit of what was in the safe. Of course even if they have the acetylene torch to light the lance, they could probably get into most RSC rated gun safes on the market.

My current safe is an RSC, but I'm planning on buying either a TL-15 or TL-30 with my tax refund. Since you have some expertise in this area, what are your thoughts about the relative benefit of the TL30 over the TL15? Is the extra 15 minute rating really worth the extra cash? IOW if they have the equipment to get in a TL15 how much extra protection is the additional 15 minutes of a TL30 really going to provide?
