* In ''Film/TheManFromUncle'', Napoleon Solo (here reimagined as a BoxedCrook GentlemanThief) has to break into a vault owned by the Vinciguerras to search for evidence that they are trying to develop nuclear weapons. He opens the door easily, but makes the mistake of assuming that there is no alarm attached to the vault door because that feature doesn't come standard on that type of vault, not realizing that the Vinciguerras had installed one separately until it went off.

Naturally, other people would sometimes want the fabulous loot hidden away in someone's seemingly impregnable safe. These people won't be given the combination to the safe's lock, as they're usually enemies of the owner. They may not be able to steal the combination. [[CuttingTheKnot Breaking into the safe with sledgehammers]], welding torches or just [[StealTheSurroundings stealing it outright]] isn't advisable since the safe is probably too heavy to move and it is usually in an enemy's mansion, protected by armed guards.

Our criminal or spy isn't out of luck, though. Combination locks were driven by a mechanism that involved tumblers, devices that would spin into place as the combination lock's dial was turned. Someone with very, very good ears (or a doctor's stethoscope) could hear the tumblers spinning and know by sound when they had fallen into place. At least, that's what Hollywood think they did.

claims - in truth, most quality combination locks nowadays have safety precautions built in specifically to prevent safecracking techniques like this, specifically ''because'' Hollywood has let everyone know that such techniques are theoretically possible.
