Tough on Safe Crackers In Newburg Bank
The Hayle Grove Gazette reports a secure bank safe in Newburg Indiana described as the most remarkable burglar proof device in the world. The safe sits in a 10 by 16 foot reinforced vault, lowered by cables at night into a masonry and concrete chamber and fastened with massive steel lugs controlled by a triple time lock. No human action can raise it until the automatic mechanism releases, and blasting through the surrounding stone and concrete would destroy the building without making the safe accessible.
