    Thanks everybody.

    What a week. It's been fun every step of the way. At first I regretted starting this thread. And when it got huge I really regretted it. But I am so glad now that I did.

    So what if the safe didn't contain buried Nazi gold, the real gold is in this thread. Yes the mods tarnished it a bit. But I'm very proud to have started it and share it with everyone. I really felt you where with me every inch of the way. I honestly don't think I'd have opened it if it wasn't for you guys. You should all be proud of yourselves.

    I want to thank TheSafeMissus, she was my rock.

    Yes Hair Cut Boy thought it was more important to have his hair styled, but it was his genius idea to use the car jack, it worked a treat.

    I wanna thank Popcorn, the angle grinding pensioner! He's a legend too.

    Finally, This is something I will never forget. You all made it special.

    And in the future, if anyone of you find a safe, don't be affaid to open it. Live the dream, dig it up and make sure to come on boards.ie and share it, you will not regret it.

    Take Care People

    Pierce.

    What a thread.
    It has 173,000 plus views and could have spawned threads in the DIY, Legal, Cookery and Personal issues sub forums.
    The winners are the op and his wife who have kept us nicely hooked thru this drama.
    And the hireshop.
    And boards.ie who must have had increased traffic and publicity over the last few days.
    The losers are the makers of jarred curry who shall forever leave a bitter taste in our mouths. And the local locksmith.

    Just in from a walk on the beach, have caught up on the rugby and this thread at last.

    This thread has been a more gripping read than the best thriller I've read in years! (Not many, admittedly, but still.)

    Sorry it ended in disappointment for OP and MrsOP, but it made for a great few days entertainment!

    Now, on a slight aside, can anyone tell me why Horn Head appears to be on fire, to save me driving over there to find out for myself?

    "Anthrax" anybody?

    Or SARS maybe? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_Acute_Respiratory_Syndrome

    Amoy green curry sauce jar in box:

    Amoy's former factory ground sold in the 70's and since turned into Amoy Gardens apartment complex. https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&ved=0CDcQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAmoy_Food&ei=pS0qUYKbPI23hAfl54HoCw&usg=AFQjCNF9_9GDr4zCsJl-Wa5un0poZcadYA

    Amoy Gardens most seriously affected location during the 2003 SARS outbreak http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoy_Gardens
    In the mid-2003, the authority concern found that there were serious problems of water pipes which may have contributed to the spread of SARS.

    Safe
    +
    Old rusty watery looking Amoy curry sauce jar

    = Profit SARS :confused:

    (I wouldn't go opening those jars op!:P)

    Anyone know what year Tiger Tiger foods began operating? It doesn't say on their website. Or does anyone know what year Amoy used that style of packaging for their green curry? Might help to date the items
    - apologies if dating of the safe has already been done and I've just missed it.

    And you, sir, would have paid €350 for two second hand jars and a manky plastic bag.

    You also would have avoided giving 300 plus peeps a cracking good thread. FOR SHAME!!! :cool:
