Safe

Just a note on really old safes: for a brief while safe-makers strategically placed glass vials in the 'crete filled with a liquid that, when exposed to air, would poison anyone that tried to drill open the safe. Too many legit openers were killed trying to get into them and the practice was stopped.

Glad it didn't put you out of the game!
I worked the front counter at a locksmith shop quite a few years ago, and the safe-tech was telling me about the dangers. I can't recall exactly what it was they put in the vials, but I'm thinking it was a nerve gas of some sort. I have no idea about the particular make/models that had them though, the safe-tech had a secure website he'd log on to to get drill locations and specs for any safe ever made.
