Exterior key safes - most secure?

I'm looking at putting up a key safe outside, but they all seem to be totally insecure as far as cracking the combination goes.
A quick check on YouTube shoes how easy they are to open, bit alarming to say the least!
As all makes seem to use only two types of mechanisms which look the same can anyone recommend a totally secure one please?

I'd looked at those safes and thought i may be leaving my keys for anyone to help themselves if they had a jemmy.
I decided it was better to leave a spare set in a jamjar stashed away in the garden.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

If you stick police approved key safe into google you will find some expensive ones that claim to be secure.
However you would need to check with your insurance provider as I think most of them hold that a key safe invalidates your insurance, precisely because they can be vulnerable.0
