How To Crack A Safe - How Burglars Found Information On Google And Stole $12,000
Author : Wendy Moyer
In the summer of 2007 a group of what a lot of people would call mighty dumb burglars used information they found using the Google search engine to crack a safe. Here's how it happened.
In June of that year several burglars broke into Bigg City, an indoor amusement center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. You'll probably agree that these burglars weren't the sharpest tools in the shed when you know that used WD-30 to spray the lens on the security camera.
If you've ever used WD-40 you know that this lubricating agent is clear. By the way, they also used it to spray a fire alarm. Go figure.
Now, you've got to understand that somehow they already had the pass code to the safe. Yet even though they tried over and over again (for seventy-five minutes) they still couldn't get into the safe.
What did they do? They went into the next room, powered on the computer (at least they could do that), and searched Google for "how to crack a safe".
They found what they were looking for because they soon walked away with twelve hundred dollars in cash, a laptop computer, and a PlayStation. And years later these burglars were still at large. Now I know you are honest as long as the day is long and you wouldn't use this information for illegal purposes. But if you do a search for safe cracking you're going to come up with a number of approaches. Some involve drilling and explosives. Others involve a bit more finesse. Here's one approach.
First, before you even attempt to twiddle the dials, try opening the safe by pulling on the handle. Business people and bankers who regularly use their safe through the day sometimes forget to lock the safe after closing the door. Pulling on the handle can literally unlock the keys to the vault.
If that doesn't work, and if you're a professional, you should have intimate knowledge of not only the safe you're going to crack but the person who owns it. You'll know their phone numbers, addresses, birthday, etc.
Why is this information important? It's because many people are lazy and want a combination that they will easily remember. Some people take laziness to an extreme. Most safes are shipped with a simple combination already pre-loaded. It's usually something like 321, or 000, or 123. A really lazy person won't even change these - so they're worth trying too.
And if neither of these approaches work, open your eyes and look around. It is truly amazing how many people just jot the combination to their safe on a piece of paper and leave it within walking distance of the safe.
