Gaining forced entry to that key safe is quite hard to do (we know as the keys moved in the box jamming the mechanism) and even if the whole thing was forced off the wall, it would still be necessary to gain entry to the actual box.

Not exactly a glowing recommendation for that product.......

A smart thief might not even bother forcing the lock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyFop7vyAjc (LockPickingLawyer [966] Decoded Without Tools: Master Lock “Safe Space” Key Box).

I was not making a recommendation or otherwise.  Simply providing a factual statement of the use of the keybox.

Does your home insurance policy have anything to say about this?

Only that keys must be left out of sight and not in the locks.......and we all do that don't we 🙂

The cheap key safes you can buy online for less than a tenner are pretty useless and can be opened in less than 30 seconds using nothing more than a small piece of paper. Look on Youtube for instructions, then spend a litttle more on a police approved type.
