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?

A few. Read the whole thread you're missing out!

It's a sticky for a reason and no not for that reason.

Yup, this is what we're dealing with

I don't care what's in the safe, I just need to know.

But I'm guessing at some world war 2 memorabilia. Hitler's head preserved alive in a jar or similar, if I'm being realistic about it.

Grumble grumble. It wouldn't have taken Spielberg this long. He'd be on the 4th part of the trilogy by now.

Step 1: Drill 1/4" inch hole straight down through door.
Step 1a (optional): Use an endoscope to see what's in there.
Step 2: fill safe with water until brimmed.
Step 3: Lower in a small explosive charge. A run of the mill quarter stick will do. (they have waterproof fuses too which is nice

)
Step 4: run away.
Step 5: run back.
Step 6: PROFIT! (unless the profit was paper money and or anything water soluble but Step 1a should have avoided this outcome.)
Step 7: share the loot with me!

This thread is riveting!

My boring predictions as to the contents: £5,000 in punts, a few prize bonds and deeds to some land.

The internet also has no morals but high horses are forged from the weekly email bag those radio shows get and will want you to give it all to charity.

I don't know how I'm so hooked on this thread!

OP set up a site with a livestream of the safe and one of those paypal donate buttons, people will definitely pay towards the locksmith.

I know I will, I have to know!!!

This thread reminds me of when billy was a kid running around the streets of London and one Christmas morning I was dying to play the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game on the commoder 64. I was waiting months to play it. Most exciting time ever.

Santa wasn't even fully back up the chimney before I ran down the stairs ripped open the wrapping paper, open the box and there was nothing inside.

In all seriousness, you should contact one of the radio stations (Darcy or Foley probably), give them the backstory & then do a live on air opening. They'll pay for the locksmith.

Don't do this. If there's anything valuable with it then you'll be forced to give it up to the dead man's relatives. AH doesn't have those kinds of morals.

Let's all have a guess what's in the safe while we are waiting. I'm going with some old bank statements insurance stuff and some old Irish coins.

I'm guessing a galaxy of tiles and a french mushroom.

Very good and with explosives.

Am i the only one that:

a) tried to go to ira.ie
b) was disappointed that it's already been taken
c) even more disappointed that that it's only a holding page, and there's no-one selling balaclavas on it......
