All safes are not created equal! Some are lots tougher to get into than others, but if you want to get in bad enough, they can be defeated.
One big problem with a relatively small safe is that if crooks find it, they will probably think it might be worth their while to take it away to a spot where they can pound it to pieces. I know of a business near Spokane years ago that had their safe (containing no more that a couple of hundred dollars), yanked from the business with a tow chain and dragged down the road. That caused many thousands of dollars of damage to the building and many more to the road. When the safe was found, it had been smashed with sledge hammers. Probably the thieves worked many hours to get into the safe.
So if you get a safe, the heavier the better, and a safe should always be fastened down very securely. Heavy bolts deep in concrete might work.
I have an old fire "safe" in my basement that probably weighs about 400lbs. Since I only store old tax records and nothing else of value to anyone but me, I leave the safe unlocked with instructions how to open it on the door. Hopefully if I ever get burglarized, the crooks will not bother to steal my safe, since they can easily look into it.
