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?

Update

Rang the locksmith who installed it and he wants €350 to open it. So that's a no go, I can't afford that.

I work full time so I don't have all day to be working on it. I'll chisel another hole tomorrow morning and will hopefully drill a hole into it.

Boroscope... If it's empty you can take your time to open it, or not. If there's something there you can get all excited and buy a big boat!

On the other hand, this could be the basis for Stephen King's next novel.:eek:

We can't wait until tomorrow, can we angry mob?

Done

Laughed when I saw Juice1304's interests. He has listed lockpicking!

What if the previous owner just had a **** into it and then locked it up!
It'd be like star wars or some carbon freezing chamber shít....except it would just be dried in dead semen.

If we can raise over 17 grand to get the mods naked, we can raise €350 to get the safe open.

Come after hours, let's do this!!

The guy has the key. He just wants €350 to put in his safe.

Expensive locksmith btw.

Leave it closed, nothing good will come of opening it. That could be like Pandoras Box, supernaturals and pure evil might come out of it*.

Leeeeeave it clooooosssseeeedd!!!! [read that in spooky voice]

* Although pure evil might be nice for a change of pace

OP would you be interested in €1,000 cash in exchange for the contents of the safe? If the value of the contents proves to be high, I'll half it with you. If it's nothing, you get a grand.

Interested?
