As a blind cat burglar, this is really helpful.

On a side note, anyone know of any other appliance manufacturers selling mapping data for customer's walls. Specifically locations of room safes? Just curious.

I’m sure it will be of great interest when the company that sold me my internet connected garage door opener starts selling my open times.

I wonder if that software that does room mapping with wifi signals (with 4cm resolution last I heard) would find safes because of their density. Seems likely.
