Safes are sometimes heavy and hard to steal. I propose that we buy the safe so we don't get hustled when we leave with it but then rob the store to get our money back. It'll probably be easy to take because they just sold their safe.
The same way you bring any large object you legitimately purchase home. Turns out it's a lot easier to do if the people you get it from are okay with you taking it.
If you do buy it now next time you get €500 you won't have the same problem.
Also, if you wait until next time, the safe will cost #600.
The risk is the opportunity cost, there might be things you could invest those $500 in that will give you more than that in return.
Yeah but then they'd get stolen because no safe. Think, man, think.
Look at me fancy here living in a place with only ~20% inflation.
:P
The odds of having that $500 are significantly smaller than you might think.
Meanwhile, buying that safe is a guaranteed way to no longer have that $500.
Just don't advertise that there's that much money to steal. Simple.
You could just steal it

Or just hook the safe up to your sports car and drive off with vin diesel dragging though the streets.
Safes are generally designed to be difficult to steal.
Depends on the purpose of the safe.
I have a fire safe for all my important documents (life insurance, will, birth certificate, etc).
It has a nice handle so I can move it if I need to.
True, I was referring to the sort of safe depicted in the comic.
How do you bring it home then
The same way you bring any large object you legitimately purchase home. Turns out it's a lot easier to do if the people you get it from are okay with you taking it.
Banks are (mostly) free...
Rule of thumb if you want to secure/protect something, invest 10% if the item's value towards its security.
So for something worth $500, buy a $50 safe. $10000, a $1000 safe. Etc.
If you want an actual (reasonably) secure safe in your home. Get a proper gunsafe that can be bolted to the ground and/or wall.
A fucking pain in the ass to transport if you ever move though. But that's the cost of having a reasonably secure safe at home.
If you need something more secure than that, I think you need to store it in a bank.
Can confirm, almost died moving safe
Glad you didn't. Be careful, we removed the door before moving it so it was at least slightly lighter.
Smart
Same here.
I believe this is called 'adulthood',
Buy it now and lease it to the store owner.
Am I missing a punchline at the end? Or does it simply end with additional frustration?
Your guess is as good as mine
I must imagine it's very satisfying to be able to make a comic where you can copy-paste a panel this often
Reminds me of this very nice Swiss song by Mani Matter about buying a wallet.
