Stupid question: how did they break into his safe?

[tavernier]

I mean, i’m assuming that it was a very well guarded safe because Trump keeps many many secrets, so I’ve been wondering whether they had to blow the lock or if they have people with special skills that know how to get in to safes?

For some reason I can’t imagine that this was a simple thing.

1. I'm guessing el cheapo didn't get the most secure safe on the planet.

5. el cheapo

a perfect description for the Republican cartel guy.

10. My guess is his safe is a sheet metal Mosler Jr...

He’s had since he was eight.

[SergeStorms]

2. Pretty easy....

💥BOOM!💥 Peels them open like a banana.

3. C4?

That would be OK if Trump refused to open it.

[woodsprite]

4. And his lazy ass probably refused to use the safe so I'm betting it was probably empty.

Damn, I hope they found stuff - more than they were looking for - and I hope they videotaped the raid!

[getagrip_already]

6. more than likely an employee opened it....

Or they had a locksmith. It's not like he was going to pay $2M for a safe that could'nt be opened without destroying the contents.

7. It was a combination safe

Combination was 1-2-3

29. I've got the same combination on my luggage!

8. I don't think this is an uncommon thing and they undoubtedly have experts they call on to do so

Think of all the drug lords and other $$$ creeps upon whom they serve warrants.

13. Do we know if they actually broke into his safe?

The only source I know of for that claim is TFG's statement, and we all know how credible that source is.

[RockRaven]

14. I imagine they have knowledgeable people who can get into safes with minimal fuss, but most

safes are only effective at guarding stuff because they slow down access, or make the access attempt loud or inconvenient or difficult to conceal. They are not really absolute barriers. If you don't have to worry about concealing your attempts at access -- you've got plenty of time, you can make noise and mess, you can damage the safe -- then angle grinders or other brute force tools will get you in eventually.

16. He forgot and left the numbers on his desk, and had them written in black sharpie ....

along with his signature.....

18. It's very simple: you drill your way in

The Army, FBI and CIA all have people certified to drill into a safe. I'm not one of them, but the basic process is you drill a hole in the locking mechanism in a particular location and the safe opens right up.

[Tetrachloride]

19. Phasers. Light saber. Expecto patronum.

None of those.

22. d8xievcup? stethoscope? electronic ears? C4?

[NutmegYankee]

23. Virtually any safe can be opened. It just takes time.

Their purpose is to make it too time consuming for a thief to bother.

[ecstatic]

26. If he's law abiding (which he's not), wouldn't they first ask

for the combo before destroying a safe? lol

[Alpeduez21]

28. Knowing the make and model

Makes it wicked easy if no one supplied the combination or opens it. It is highly unlikely that the sleazy lying steaming pile hump is the only person to have the combination Any locksmith worth their salt can use the type of safe information to know where to drill, set pins and trip the deadbolt/s

30. Answer: they didn't

His lawyer or someone on his staff would have had the access code.
