.. about the theft - I am sure its not something they wanted / expected to be dealing with on holiday. A few years ago we bought a similar style of safe for our home and realising how easily they are opened we became less keen to use these in hotels so purchased our own portable travel safe like this:

This is the US website but you can buy them readily in Aus & NZ. This has been great and well worth the $$ as its useful not only once you reach your destination but also en-route & for day trips etc.
Hope your parents get it sorted with the management and lets hope this serves as a warning to others that in-room "safe's" are probably not that safe!
Cheers
