"it's a little less theft-proof than a real one, but it comes close."

Understatement :)

I for one still feel the pain in my thumbs from taking lego apart.

Now they have the brick separator. Works surprisingly well. http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=630

I've read somewhere that the best place to hide valuables (from thieves, not from your kids) is in a stuffed animal in a kid's room because no thieve would search through the mess average children have in their rooms. So this safe might be safer that it looks :-).

The article includes a great video of the mechanism in action, but the tutorial part could be a little more descriptive.

Too bad the author didn't write a step by step illustrated tutorial of how to build the safe.

It's still a fascinating piece of work though.

Did you click through to "Next Step"? He did write a tutorial.
