I now have a liberty fat boy bolted down, but I think that's more for peace of mind.
I said I wasn't beating the guy up - these commerically produced and sold gun safes, even Liberty and Fort Knox involve some compromises - even if you go for a "true" safe, configured for guns (like Graffunder, for example) - there are compromises. As long as you understand them and make the choices consciously, you have no problems with me. Just don't pretend the budget Cannon from Academy or Browning (whatever) from Wal-Mart or Sam's is a real deterrent to a motivated gun thief. Or all that much fire protection (although it is obviously, better than nothing).
In your case, you went more upmarket (Liberty) and bolted it down. Those efforts will increase the utility of the safe and deter all but the most dedicated and capable gun thiefs.

One never knows about thieves - they may have consciously passed because of the risk.
