Probably could get through with an oxy-torch, but as blakjak mentioned, it may be alarmed. Even if it isn't alarmed, you'd still be committing a crime against the Commonwealth, which constitutes an act of civil terrorism, correct?

Ya know what they say, 20 years from now you'll regret more the things you didn't do rather than the things you did. Unless of course you end up in jail then you'll probably regret more the things you did do. This saying is flawed..... FML

You'll regret what you don't attempt, but if you attempt things you'll regret them too. The paradoxes are overwhelming! Moral of the story: conform to the lazy Australian stereotype and always opt for non-action

You wont get through a Chubb safe door with an oxy, they are filled with concrete and the inner workings of the locking mechanism. You can chop the hinges off, but that wont do much. And they are almost always alarmed, you don't buy a $100,000 safe and then just leave it there.
We once found a small 2 cubic foot Chubb safe at the dump that was locked and it took us weeks to get into it. The plan was to drill a hole, fill it with water (to not burn the contents) an then use an oxy. In the end we made a 1 inch jagged round hole using a drill (on the steel) and sledge hammer (on the concrete) and only found some documents and junk inside, no cash.

And you rarely if ever regret things you didn't do as there are so many and you can't remember many of those.
But things you did that blow up in your face stay with you for life.

It's very true that poor decisions can blow up in your face, sometimes literally, and hinder you for life. By the same merit though, I'm not sure I'd agree with your first statement. Sure, you regret a lot of things you don't do, and hence take little serious note of said lack of action, although I do feel that these regrets slowly accumulate and subconsciously have a significant impact on how we live our lives. It's only habitual; if you touch a flame and consequently feel pain, you won't make the same mistake many more times, if at all. I feel like this plays true with our mistakes, although perhaps less distinctly, as regrets are often very different situations. If you regret something, you should agree that you made a mistake, and you'll try not to make the same mistake again. I feel like you can draw patterns from your mistakes and how you react to these patterns form your personality very heavily. For some people, it may lead to them taking a lot of, often dangerous, risks. For others, it may lead to them having a very quiet and cautious nature. I'll finish up my essay though, and I'll say that we shouldn't disregard the small things as insignificant.

I've got no comeback for that.

Good conclusion but you're being marked down for not using paragraphs.
