… Looking at this table and camera setup I talked with Paul Crouwel<\/a>, the
\nsafe technician I came with. The original idea was to do this little
\ntest under the flag of Toool. Paul would say something about the safes
\nand the way they were constructed and I would talk about the quality
\nof the locks. But this camera setup, and the content<\/a> of the safe
\n(monopoly money and a pearl necklaces) proved the TV makers still
\nwanted to shoot the test as if it was a real time burglary. This was
\nreason enough to let Paul Crouwel do the test on his own. A real pity,
\nI would have loved to pick these locks and say something about them…<\/p>\n

\"safe<\/p>\n

The results of the test can be seen today for those of you who can
\nreceive Dutch television (NL 1 18:55<\/a>). Besides testing the safes on
\nbeing burglary proof they were also tested to see how well they could
\nhandle being dropped from great heights as well being set on fire.
\n(unfortunately not at the same time, that would have been real
\nspectacular television \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

And for the record: Paul Crouwel<\/a> normally never ever ever opens this
\nkind of low quality safes. He is a real specialist that mainly focuses
\non high security safes. And he is one of the few people I know that on
\na regular basis opens bank and post office safes. He invests a lot of
\ntime and money in keeping up to date with safe technology and even
\ntries to open these high security safes without damaging them. For
\nthis he uses a method known as ‘manipulation’<\/a>, that was also covered
\nduring the Sneek lectures. For this he constantly purchases the best
\nof the best materials and spends hours a day practising with it.<\/p>\n

The latest tool in his toolbox is a manipulation aid from the UK<\/a>.
\nSpecial hardware and software that will help determine what numbers
\nare in a safe combination, and what wheel you are working on. I shot
\nsome video when the tool was demonstrated in Sneek (Video<\/a> 17 Mb WMV).<\/p>\n

To come back to the test: I can’t wait to see what they made of it.
\nPaul Crouwel will be live in the studio tonight and comment on the
\ntest results. Needless to say I will make the video available asap on this site…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
