Child Item

I found a Safe.

Son0vagun

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?

Get a camera from Aldi with flexible head ( with built in light) on it. It's 10mm dia. So just drill a 11mm hole and u can see inside.
Or
Attach a chain to the door and the other end of the chan to the hitch of a car and drive!

Good Idea this!

Gives me an idea to install a similar safe in my own place. Just leave a note in it saying, "Unlucky, Twat!"

Any one else surprised national news has not picked up on this yet.

Noticed these in Woodies yesterday. Hire for 24hrs is 49.99 but I think I noticed a discount poster so you might be lucky for about 40 euros.

Seems the right size for a shed/man cave.

I bet it's just a pair of skid marked knickers in the safe and the previous owner is trolling you (and us)

No news guys, still waiting for Juice1304 to have a look at the picture of the Keyway. If he can't open it, I'll be digging it up!

Why not just drill 11 mm hole and use inspection camera?

The safe is hardly pandoras?

Nah, hers was a box. No lock. If she'd gone to the trouble of finding a lock we wouldn't have any bothers and the OP would have a key.

I can't believe no one has made any reference to The Lovely Bones yet, it sounds creepily similar :P

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

You do know OP that Fred west had a house over here years ago and was known to have put some body parts in a "safe" place

Pawpad666

Hope it's not as disappointing as the tat they found in that 100 year old box in Norway.

This is the most interesting thread in a long time! Dying to know what's in it now.

My guess is a treasure map.

ah this is exactly like a caller to the Danny Baker show on bbc five live about 12 months ago. He moved into a new house in cheshire and there was a safe in the basement although he found the keys somewhere else in the house i think. Then he opened it live on air.
Ended up there was a video tape in the safe. The following week they watched the tape on air and it was some old bbc sitcom.
