Moving a safe...
DR4NRA:
If you want to go that way, Lincoln Lock and Safe are real good and reasonable. They got a 700 lb safe in my basement in about 20 min using a nifty machine they have that walks it up or down stairs.
UPCrawfish:
If you don't go the 'professional' route and try the DIY with an appliance dolly... Get some plywood sheets to put on the ground as a pathway out of their basement, across the lawn and up to the front of the house/driveway/sidewalk.
The dolly, with the small wheels, will bury up in the soil without a firm surface to roll on.

There are videos on you tube of people, using only simple tools, lifting barns and moving them. If neighbors can move a barn, a medium sized safe cant be out of reach.
4 2x6 10 foot long boards fastened to the sides of the safe at 6" below hands at waist high. Bound on with tie down straps that sandwich the boards to the sides of the safe. Moving blanket over the safe to protect the paint. One strong person on the end of each board, or two frail teens on each handle and up she goes.
Each person will be lifting 60 pounds in a 8 man team, 30 pounds in a 16 man team. That should easily walk out of a landscaped area without doing any damage. Cant take a tow truck into someone's yard. Tow trucks do come in handy, I use them to move my (4300 pounds each) gorillas.

I want to applaude you for going to the effort and expense to aquire this safe. It is a very responsible decision to put a safe in your home. Keeps good people good, keeps bad people away.

I think the first step is getting it in my garage. Then ill see if i want it downstairs or not. I already have a safe, but this one is bigger. Im certain i can get it moved with my dolly and some friends.
