Breaking open a safe with strength?

I bought a cheap lock w/key fireproof safe not too long ago (it was around $20) and I was testing it out by unlocking and locking it repeatedly because I'm paranoid and there are very important documents in there. Then I tried one more thing: attempting to break it open with strength to see if someone can actually get into it that way without the key. I broke it open with fair effort. Now that I know my documents won't be safe, please recommend some good, strong safes that are under $80 and can be bought in stores, not online or ebay.

Please also share some safety tips with locks/safes. How can I prevent someone from opening a safe with strength?

And the safe I bought was MMF Industries fireproof Security Box. I live in Canada.

That sort of safe would work fine, just attach it firmly to the floor or a wall in at the back of a cupboard or somewhere where you cannot get enough leverage to force it open.

But it sounds like it is just to stop whatever you put in it from being burnt in a fire, get a heavy duty safe and it is unlikely that anyone would be able to force it open with their bare hands.

Is it safe to start my car, then take the key out the ignition while still running?

    Sounds like you need a psychiatrist more than security tips.
