Many folks bolt down their safes to their concrete slab. Sure, such a precaution may be THE way to go, but I wonder how often thieves make off with these mega-heavy items when not bolted down
Bolting it down keeps it upright, which is the larger concern- not theft of the actual box. A thief can get into a good safe in a relatively short time if they can get it on the floor on it's back. There have been several videos posted of this in the past.
Edited to add: Like most, I bought a "big enough" safe at the time but it's way too small now... thinking it had room for my guns plus a few more was short sided thinking on my part... you'll end up wanting to put more guns plus more than just guns in it. If I could do it again, I would buy MUCH larger. As it stands, a 2nd safe will be in order soon.
