    The previous owner died unexpectedly at a young age. It is possible it contains something of value, but chances are it does not.

    How much would a lock smith cost?

    Depends on what's required to get into the safe and how long, there could also be a callout fee.

    No it's not. It still has a coating of oil on it. It's well preserved.

    We'll ignore the fact that this one is square, and red, and completely different to the other one.

    I wouldn't go digging it up or anything. Try getting it opened professionally and maybe getting a new key made for it. Could be a very useful thing to have yourself assuming it's a decent enough safe and hasn't suffered water ingress.

    As for any possible contents.. guess you have to wait and see. I doubt the Locksmith would be obliged to notify anyone but if it was anything of non monetary value to the old owners family...


    Id say they are under no obligation to tell the locksmith anything other than, they dont have the key, and then ask,
    can they open it?, how much? will they be able to replace the lock? how much?
    when the locksmith gets through the lock, the locksmith wouldn't have any right to open it or examine the contents.

    You could remove contents OP and let them work away,

    unless of course you find something creepy like a monkey hand with a pointing finger??? and let a scream like you weren't expecting that, then they'll be on to you.

    Or if its valuables, and the locksmith sees it, then they'll be onto you, and you WILL have to dispose of them!

    I think that once you legally own the property then you own the safe aswell .

    Does not everything below ground level belong to the government? I don't know if that includes stuff enclosed by your foundations.

    Have you tried urinating on it?
    I think thats what you are supposed to do in situations like this.
    or is that Jellyfish stings
    or sprained ankles
    I not 100% sure, I get mixed up sometimes.
    Best to go ahead and do the urination thing, just in case.

    Everything below ground level belongs to the rats, same as the rest of the country, our rats are a particular breed that don't flee a sinking ship for the most part, the ones that do are known as Ratticus Bostonicus, hic.

    Who do you think votes for them?

    OP, tie a chain to the safe and then the other end to the rear axle of your car, that always works in the movies, never seen it fail

    Read quotes of €200-€300 for a locksmith on that other thread. I can't afford that. So it's looking like the mentos or burning it, with fire are my only options.

    First fill the safe with water by the key hole then get yourself a slow spinning drill and a set of these http://i01.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/213802717/CARBIDE_TIPPED_HOLE_SAW_SET.jpg and some coolant oill then drill out the lock.

    Well paper money would survive being wet for an hour or so, but it would not survive very long at all if it went on fire.

    If none of the above works, is there room to swing a sledge hammer?
    Just go mental at it,

    of course tell the lock smith thats how you found it

    I suggest building up some frustration, annoyance and anger at the inanimate object first, cursing at it helps too, then let fly.

    How far is the shed from your house?
    right, you never heard this from me, do you know any farmers?, a bag of fertiliser and some diesel, mix it up in the wifes food processor, place in a cloth bag with, look up internet "how to make fuse", attach, kango small hole beside safe, place "saferacker" light match a run like hell :D

    I have repeated this several times to myself, out loud mind you, trying to recite it as if there were commas here and there, I have absolutely no idea what this sentence translates to.
