More like the kid opened it, and grandpa caught him and whacked him too hard, so they had to make up a story to cover up

And yet, one opinion does not determine whether or not a country is safe. The violent crime rate in that country is how that determination is made.

I bet this 15 year old with a fractured skull may have a different opinion than yours.

The safe was opened, wonder if it was forced open or not?

Since we are all speculating,
"Boy admits giving his friend keys to the safe. Friend admits to hitting boy to make the burglary look authentic. Boys say they planned to split the loot. "
Age-old burglary pattern. Nothing new if this is the case.

It shouldn't be too hard to track down this loser. He had to be someone familiar with the family to know where the safe is.

Looking forward to hearing what really happened this weekend.
Something along the lines of "Boy admits he jimmied open the safe, but then slipped and fractured his skull."
