How big is the safe? Any idea the rating? If it's small a good crow bar should do it (I got robbed that way once...) If it's one of those big steal boxes, there are lots of good tips on wikipedia, include the mention of brute force using an "auto dialer".. Interesting stuff.. It really all depends on your model safe<br>

Safe-cracking short of the big drills / welders / etc is only really<br>
about figuring out the combo. It sounds like your mechanism is<br>
actually interfered with, which is a rather different kind of problem.<br>
