The safe was so heavy that the offenders used a small garden trolley from the garage to transport it to the road 50 yards away.
They stole thousands of pounds worth of jewellery including a gold ‘Half Hunter’ wind-up pocket watch and a gold watch known as an ‘Albert’ which contains a T-piece to secure the chain to a pocket and a telescopic toothpick.
Also taken were two gold sovereign coins bearing Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria plus Crown coins bearing Winston Churchill, Prince Charles and Lady Diana.
Other distinctive pieces stolen include a gold ring in the style of a Turkish puzzle and a silver bracelet carrying a variety of African charms.
The links contain engraved pictures and one of the charms, a Juju shaped like a hollow silver person, is very rare.
Police are appealing for witnesses and would like to speak to anyone who saw anything suspicious in Sid Road on January 10.
Anyone who is offered the items for sale or knows of their whereabouts is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, quoting crime reference KS/13/8.
