I found a Safe.

rolliepoley · 19-02-2013 12:46am

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.

Nice one, and all the water proof money will be grand.

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

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.

Ah I recognise that type of safe. It's a munitions safe from World Ward 2 era.

Boom!

gallag · 19-02-2013 1:05am

I cant sleep now wondering what is in the safe. Hope its a real freaky porno.

grange mac · 19-02-2013 1:05am

Get a crow bar!! That handle is only for the cover of it, that safe is only 4mm thick max. Wedge crowbar into side....force it open...!!

I would hazzard a guess that the Gentleman was suggesting that one should attempt to utilise a stihl saw, while simultaneously running a hose to supply a liquid coolant ( presumably water, though not explicitly specified ), and to commence cutting (with aforementioned saw) in order to remedy the particular conundrum that the OP finds themselves in.

Serious?
Stihl is a manufacturer, of cutting tools and other equipment,
Hose is presumably coolant for steel cutting
cutting is cutting

Yes, drill hole somewhere other than door I think, fill with water, add small explosive device, call ambulance/bomb squad, light fuse, run like hell. Watch lethal weapon its got all the answers you need.

dorkacle · 19-02-2013 1:31am

Op, make sure you let us know what is in it if you find out! :P Have to know! Wish I found a safe

If its money (or preferably really weird porn like already mentioned) make sure you share it

On a serious note, could be an old gun safe??

People didn't put guns in safes way back..

It wasnt law or near justified..

Some people still dont have too.

Indeed it is, the poster no.55, calling poster no.55

I believe they said "run the hose"

I was replying to the other poster that poster 55, meant run the cutting fluids (through the hose)
for the purpose of cooling.

Incased in concrete and a floor safe are and were a common thing in 60/70's dwellings.

It was a common thing with barristers/judges and medical professionals..

I've seen it countless times. Countless times now that I think of it..

Im only assuming its old but it doesn't sound out of the ordinary.

A gun safe wouldnt take too kindly or be bothered setting in concrete.

OP if you can get us a pic I may be able to help you. Boss and I have opened a few in our time :pac::pac:

I wouldnt be holding my breath for an ol aya no4 or a purdey but you maybe find a nice wee snub nose 38 :P:P

Buy a 63mm or so holesaw and drill just next to the locking mechanism..

Get something like a 4or5mm bit first and figure out how deep it is..

scotchy · 19-02-2013 1:58am

It’s probably booby trapped, so be careful.

Floor safes usually have great protection on the top, but not so great protection at the sides. Just saying.

Ranicand · 19-02-2013 2:05am

Maybe a body part inside?:D

That's it exactly. I know it from a shop I worked in. You're not going to get the safe out without digging up the floor. Best to work at the lid with an angle grinder.

belcampprisoner · 19-02-2013 2:56am

whats your address i will call around and openit,and tell you if i find something ,look upsafe opening online

Jimoslimos · 19-02-2013 5:27am

Is it open yet? (I know half-four might not be the optimum time for cracking out the power tools but....)

Actually I'd suggest taking the slow, more refined approach. Start teaching yourself lockpicking from youtube videos and tools purchased over the internet (or make your own). See if you can find yourself an identical safe to practise on. Sticky the thread and keep us posted on your progress.

Son0vagun · 19-02-2013 6:02am

I doubt it's from the 60/70s cos the sheds are about 10/15 years old.

I'll be picking up some tools later. I'll let you all know how I get on.

The key hole has a centre pin with two slots. So I'm guessing the lid has has two bolts that lock it in place.

Son0vagun · 19-02-2013 6:05am

Here's a up close of the lock

Sledgehammer around the safe to the point where it's loose enough to pull up. It'll take time and effort, but hey, what else will the OP do?

dlofnep · 19-02-2013 10:20am

I would say, it's worth contacting one of the lads from 2600 or TOG that have solid experience with lock-picking. Might be able to save yourself a lot of hassle. I've only some basic experience with it, but some of them are very good!

LadyMayBelle · 19-02-2013 10:57am

Will be checking back from the office desk regularly today OP, you better get it open!

Franticfrank · 19-02-2013 11:00am

Did you check if it's actually locked? Perhaps the previous owner died before he had a chance to lock it.

Son0vagun · 19-02-2013 11:07am

I won't be getting it opened today. One lad Juice1304 dropped me a PM and said he might be able to pick it. But I can't seem to reply to his PM.

So for him here's a pic I'd the key way.

fangee · 19-02-2013 11:30am

I've seen these type of safes over the years in bookies that I've worked in.

It shouldn't be difficult for a professional and he may be able to leave it in working order.

He won't ask any question. It's on your property. You just lost the keys.

How can you not afford €200-€300 to get it opened professionally it you've got the money to buy the house ?

Is there more to this story ?

Apon clearing out my shed in my newly purchased house/property I found a safe. It's a floor safe and incased in concrete. It's opened by a key, which I do not have. Written on the safe door is the details of the locksmith who installed it. The previous owner is deceased, so I don't know who else knows about it.

So I want to open it. But I can't decide what to do.

Easy option is to ring the locksmith and have him open it. But what about the contents of the safe? I doubt there's anything valuable in it, but there could be. The locksmith might notify the previous owners family. Or am I now the legal owner of whatever the safe contains?

I could hire a criminal to open it, but he'd want his share and probably murder me if it contained anything substantial.

Or inorder to have complete secrecy I could dig the it out, it would be a hard job. Chisel and hammer, it would take ages. And then use a angle grinder to open It, but the sparks might burn whatever is contained.

So what would you do? Any advice?

Unfortunately, me thinks you would have to contact the lawyer of the deceased, because it is their estate, I wouldn't try opening it, it may still be against the law
