Is there an expiry date on the jars?

+1 to this. It could give us an idea of whether it was the previous owner or the previous previous owner who trolled us!

Remember when we didn't know what was in the safe and we were excited for OP to get into it and find out? I miss those few days!

Again, great thread and congrats for sticking to your guns and getting the safe open and creating a great amount of excitement and community on the site. Boardsie of the year contender I say.

This Is The End...

The End

frozenfrozen · 24-02-2013 4:18pm

the local is open so lets go for a few jars and get locked, and get a curry on the way home. Will you mind my keys for the night?

LizT · 24-02-2013 4:21pm

Great read! Sorry there wasn't more in the safe for you OP

Very suspicious. We didnt have curry in Ireland in the 70's. It was foreign food like spaghetti and stuff.

Yakult · 24-02-2013 5:07pm

Also, why the **** would they put that useless junk in a ****ing safe?? To troll??

That's why they stored the evidence of their shameful curry eating habits in a safe. They'd probably have been run from their home if the neighours knew they were partaking in such dark activities.

I would say he stored cash in the jars and when he removed the cash just left them back in the safe for the next time he needed them.

But why put them in a locked metal moneybox, and then put the money box containing no money in to a secure safe cemented into the ground?
If he was waiting for the next time he needed them for cash, would he not have just left the empty jars in the money box unlocked?

Also why the need for 2 safes just for some cash in a jar? Would the locked metal money box not have been enough on it's own, or could the jars full of money not have been placed into the safe on their own instead of into a money box first? I mean obviously anybody who could get into the safe wouldn't have much bother getting the little money box open, so I'd like to know why the need for both boxes at all?!

C.K Dexter Haven · 24-02-2013 5:52pm

I wonder are the jars made of safety glass?

ITS_A_BADGER · 24-02-2013 5:57pm

Epic thread all the same, Thanks for the week long entertainment man!

GalwayGuy2 · 24-02-2013 5:58pm

Just woke up (work nights) to find the safe open!!! Delayed opening the link to the photo because knew the suspense would then be over. wTF - jars!!
Been stalking the thread all week, getting my fix every night. Op you are a legend, well done on all your hard work.
Disappointed there wasn't more in it for you.

*pats you on the back.

Peregrine · 24-02-2013 6:45pm

And the man who put that safe there is reading this thread now and p1ssing himself laughing..

Quick OP, put it back where you found it, sell the house and sit back and watch

Mahou · 24-02-2013 6:50pm

A jar, inside a money box, inside a safe.......

A riddle, inside a mystery, wrapped in an enigma........

The safe was a bit of a mcguffin in this thread.

Slutmonkey57b · 24-02-2013 7:45pm

Somebody had muffins? And they didn't share?

Worst news I've had all day.

jeni · 24-02-2013 7:46pm

Maybe he owned a shop r summit n he kept the takens in it, n the jars were to stop the money getting damp n the money safe is just for easy transport ??

jasonb · 24-02-2013 7:48pm

I had to post before this thread was locked....

I was lucky enough to find this thread last Monday and I've been following it ever since. It really has been epic, and fair play to the OP (and his other half) for all the entertainment, and hard work!

Funniest posts for me were the 'Hopefully there's a dictionary in it' and the Paddy Power Odds link!

Most informative post: you can change the settings to 40 posts per page! Who knew (I didn't!)

And after 1 week and 56 pages, and lots of drama (some of which we're not allowed to talk about) it's just been emotional. Delighted to see this thread in the Epic Threads list, it's well earned!

Thanks OP, have a relaxing evening now...

Its not over till the fat jars sing.

emer_b · 24-02-2013 7:58pm

Was catching up on the last few hrs of nail biting excitement of this thread on a long car journey earlier today. Felt carsick reading it but had to keep going. Got to the photo of the safe in the safe and realised my phone battery was at 3%...then I lost 3G signal...disaster!!

Managed to get my husbands phone off him (reluctantly!) while trying to explain to him the urgency of the situation....opened the final picture and
"WHAT....F@CKIN JAM JARS!!!"

Gave us a great laugh all the way home.

Cheers OP and team safe, well done.

I'd like this thread to be locked now. Not because I don't want people to post, feel free to creative a after the lock thread, it's just it would be a fitting ending.

I honestly think Boards.ie have a best seller on their hands. It reads like a thriller. It has everything. A hero, a sidekick, romance, a villain and a unexpected ending.

Edit it(with deleted posts included)
Include my pix and others.
And publish it with all proceeds to go to charity. And I firmly believe it will sell.

And make the prison thread a bonus chapter.

That is what I what to come from this.

Thanks again everyone.

Fair play OP, I followed it all weekend and am only catching up on the opening of the safe now... gutted for you, but one of the best threads ever!

Has it featured on The Journal yet?

Super-Rush · 24-02-2013 8:12pm

Like the safe was, this thread is now locked.
