Does this make it theft proof, sadly not, and not intended to be.

it will, however slow any one down and cause them to make a lot of noise, and spend more time than a causal thief would want to, at the location.

As for off site, I am now seriously looking at the my passport drives, at 500GB. These are now about $140 and are small enough to fit in a small safety deposit box.

Unless you live in the US there is nothing safer than a bank

Sorry guys but I couldn't resist
