Home fireproof safe that is secured to the floor or wall?

I would like to buy a medium size fireproof floor safe (like those at Office Depot), but all I have available to place it on is a carpeted concrete slab. My fear is that if it is not firmly secured, someone with a hand dolly could remove it in minutes.

Is there a way to secure a safe to a concrete floor or to wood studs on the wall where it sits so it can't be easily removed?

Many security safes come with holes through the bottom from the inside, that you can secure it to the floor with. I myself have a medium size "SentrySafe" that I picked up from either Home Depot or Lowes (I can't remember), which has the mounting holes. The instructions for the safes also provide information on mounting them by bolt.

In order to secure it, you'll need to drill into the floor. In order to drill into the concrete, you'll need a hammer drill, but you can rent them from most hardware stores (such as Home Depot).

You'll want to use masonry anchors to bolt into (see link below on how to install.) Between the weight of the safe and the bolts, it should make it much more difficult to walk away with. Nothing's perfect, but no one will be able to easily cart it off.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that that if you were to pour concrete around it:
1) Cutting out a hole bigger than the safe itself would be a huge amount of work, most likely overkill for what you want.
2) Most safes have smooth sides, give it a good swift kick in the side, and it would slide easily out of its concrete "mold". "Scarifying" the sides might make it less smooth so that it would have more grip against the concrete, but also sounds like a huge amount of work.
3) Pouring the concrete around the safe would bury the safe past the door's opening clearance. The clearance between the door and the bottom of the safe is typically less than 2 inches, not much to bury it in.

Finally, using a method to secure the safe in a manner not suggested by the manufacturer, may void all warranty. You really don't want to do this, since the warranty may cover a certain amount of the worth of the contents.
