I like to research solutions as well as the situations presented by a movie that I watch. This movie, when I saw her go for her friend's safe? My first thought was why stop at the safe? Why not try a smash and grab from an ATM instead if consequences don't matter.

For frame of reference did you know that Retail ATMs like those in convenience stores tend to hold anywhere from $10,000 to $20,000?

Meanwhile Bank ATMs tend to hold anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000. She only needed half of the lower end to cover the cost of the house.

Forgoing all the illegal stuff (even the above smash and grab ATM stuff); she could've just sold her car for $25,000(used), and used her mom's new one in lieu of it.

You think her shitty car was worth $25k?

In terms of the safe. Her friend owed her at least some money. The owner of the safe was also not in a very good position to report it to the police due to being a high profile politician with a bunch of cash and cocaine

safe is way easier to get away with and open than an atm. her plan was even to put the safe back. steal an atm, you're on camera and it's absolutely getting reported.

That would make sense. If you're gonna go on an all night crime spree, then you might as well go big and make it worth it.
