Also I think this is a "safety deposit box". ('safety box' may sometimes be used to mean that, but it sounds a bit 和製英語っぽい to me.)

Incidentally there is one example for this in the corpus, but the translation is completely wrong and the Japanese suspicious.

Headword 1悪々戯
Headword 2悪悪戯
Reading 1わるいたずら
Part-of-speechn

CommentIt's a bit surprising to me to have the 'repeat' symbol (々) when the reading of the two kanji are unrelated.

All the web hits for "悪々戯" appear to be from Edict.

If I was going to guess I'd suspect a liberal application of 々's to entries happened sometime in the past and this one slipped past.

CommentI'm not saying there isn't a sense with the meaning of 'little', but it's only かわいい if it's a target for 'cute' as well (as is made clear in the dictionary link). A ゴキブリ wouldn't be かわいい no matter how small and immature it might look.
