An application for a safe or strong box attachment mechanism that attaches to a bed system includes a barbed plate that has barbs. The barbed plate readily inserts between a box spring and a mattress, but due to the barbs, is difficult to remove without lifting the mattress from the box spring making it at least difficult to remove by, for example, children in the home. In some embodiments, the safe (or strong box) has a revolving door that, when a proper code/combination/biometric is provided, rotatably opens to expose the contents.

1. A safe attachment mechanism comprising: a safe having a base, the base having an opening;a door, the door selectively obstructing the opening to prevent access to contents of the safe when closed;a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism holding the door in a closed position until a key is provided to enable access;a plate affixed to the base of the safe, the plate being planar and having a plurality of barbs formed on at least one surface of the plate, the barbs pointing towards the base of the safe, such that it is easier to push the plate between two objects than it is to pull the plate out from between the two objects;whereas after being slid between a mattress and a box spring, the barbs dig into the mattress, thereby preventing removal of the plate from between the mattress and the box spring. 2. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 1, wherein the key is a combination. 3. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 1, wherein the key is a biological sample. 4. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 1, wherein: the door is rotatably interfaced to the base by a pivot, the pivot being approximately central to the rotation of the door, such that the door closes the opening in a first position of rotation and the door provides access to the safe through the opening in a second position of rotation, whereas the door rotates to be substantially contained within the base of the safe in the second position of rotation; andan energy storage mechanism is interfaced between the base and the door, the locking mechanism engages between the door and the base when the door is in the first position of rotation, force is applied and stored in the energy storing mechanism when the door is rotated into the first position of rotation and, upon enabling access by the locking mechanism, the locking mechanism disengages the door from the base, and the energy storing mechanism releases stored energy causing the door to rotate into the second position of rotation. 5. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 4, wherein the energy storage mechanism is a spring. 6. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 4, further comprising one or more formed inserts within the base, the formed inserts supporting an object in a position such that the object is ready for access when the door of the safe is in the second position. 7. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 6, wherein the object is a weapon selected from the group consisting of a gun, a knife, and pepper spray. 8. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 1, wherein the barbs are formed on two opposing sides of the plate. 9. A method of securing a safe to a bed, the method comprising: providing the safe attachment mechanism of claim 1;pushing the plate between a mattress and a bed spring of a bed whereas the barbs pass over the cloth material of the mattress and/or bed spring and, once the barbs pass over the cloth material, the barbs dig into the cloth material to make it difficult to pull the plate out from between the mattress and bed spring;placing an object through the opening and into the base of the safe; andlocking the door of the safe. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the key is a combination. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the key is a fingerprint. 12. A safe attachment mechanism comprising: a safe having a base, the base having an opening;means for selectively obstructing the opening to selectively prevent access to contents of the safe;means for selectively locking the means for selectively obstructing, the means for selectively locking holding the means for selectively obstructing in a closed position until a means for access is provided to enable access;a plate affixed to the base of the safe, the plate being planar and having a plurality of barbs formed on at least one surface of the plate, the barbs pointing towards the base of the safe, after insertion between a mattress and a bed spring, the barbs dig into the mattress thereby preventing removal of the plate from the mattress. 13. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 12, wherein the means for access is a combination. 14. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 12, wherein the means for access is a key. 15. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 12, wherein the means for access is a biological sample. 16. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 12, wherein: the door is rotatably interfaced to the base by a pivot, the pivot being approximately central to the rotation of the door, such that the door closes the opening in a first position of rotation and the door provides access to the safe through the opening in a second position of rotation, whereas the door rotates to be substantially contained within the base of the safe in the second position of rotation; andan energy storage mechanism is interfaced between the base and the door, the means for selectively locking engages between the door and the base when the door is in the first position of rotation, force is applied and stored in the energy storing mechanism when the door is rotated from the second position of rotation into the first position of rotation and, upon enabling access by the means for selectively locking, the locking mechanism disengages the door from the base, and the energy storing mechanism releases stored energy causing the door to rotate from the first position of rotation into the second position of rotation. 17. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 16, wherein the energy storage mechanism is a spring. 18. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 16, further comprising one or more formed inserts within the base, the formed inserts supporting an object in a position such that the object is ready for access when the door of the safe is in the second position. 19. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 18, wherein the object is a weapon selected from the group consisting of a gun, a knife, and pepper spray. 20. The safe attachment mechanism of claim 12, wherein the barbs are formed on two opposing sides of the plate.
