Shock Safe Delivers a Jolt to Would-Be Thieves

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that no one wants your old baseball cards enough to warrant securing them in a safe that delivers electric shocks to people.

6.5kg Lego Safe Is Guarded by 305 Billion Codes

By definition, you would think that a Lego safe won’t be very safe. But, right now, and looking at the photo and features of this 6.5kg Lego Mindstorms NXT Safe, it looks like a much more secure place to guard my savings than any bank out there. All the $US34.67 of them. Seriously. Once glued, the 2.7-inch thick walls made of interlocking Lego bricks and its five double digit electronic code lock will make it impossible to break for most people. And beyond the fact that no thief would think you would be stupid enough to store your valuables on a Lego safe, the electronic code is not the only security feature.

A Floppy Disk That’s Safer Than Your Hard Drive

Floppy disks weren’t exactly known for their data security, but as a safe I think it could really handle the job. Unfortunately, the “Safe Save” is only a concept render at this point—which is disappointing because it would definitely be a cool real-world product. [Tebe Interesno via Apartment Therapy]

A Safe So Complicated That No One Will Open It, Ever

We think the Band Saw Safe is as charming as safes come, with various arrows rotating to confound would-be thieves from opening the box. The only problem is, even after reading the description five times though, we still don’t fully understand how you actually open it.

Bentley Makes a Safe For Expensive Watches, Perfect for Wall Street Execs Looking to Piss Us Off Even More

You know you’re rich when you drop tens of thousands of dollars on a fancy watch. You know you’re obscenely, ridiculously rich when you have so many of said fancy, expensive watches that you need a specially-designed safe to hold and show off all of them. Stockinger and Bentley have teamed up to make a line of safes designed to hold watches and only watches. Some of them even have some sort of fancy, high-tech watch winder inside. But people won’t buy it for that. They’ll buy it because they want to store their million dollars’ worth of watches in a safe with the Bentley logo on it, because they are douchebags. Case closed.
