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
