YOU JUST NEVER KNOW

[gxray]

I found this in an old building many yrs ago and the curiosity has haunted me ever since. I won't go into detail as to the who, where and when , but I have permission to salvage from this place. I went there again today to plan my strategy. I found one last yr and was VERY VERY pleasantly surprised with its contents.
Wish me luck ...Updates coming soon.

Thanx for looking and HH y'all

UPDATE: well it's been about 3 yrs since I initially posted this. I checked on the safe about every 4-6 months since, just to make sure it hadn't been disturbed or opened. Originally I was going to open it with a torch but there were inherent risks with that idea. Well this past weekend I revisited the site armed with a cordless drill,4 batteries and a scope cam. Much to my dismay,when I arrived at the site, all I saw was a mountain of bricks and rubble. The building
has been torn down and no evidence of the safe anywhere. Unfortunately, due to my procrastination, We will NEVER KNOW What was inside.

Personally, I love these kinds of stories, it gets everybodies imagination going. About 20 years ago I found a small money hidden under the basement stairs at one of my customers place of business. I asked him if I could buy it from him, he told me that "I could have it as long as I could get it up the stairs and out the door".

To make a long story short, I got it out with a dolly and took it to a lock and safe company in Toronto. They told me that the safe dated to about 1890 and they were able to crack the combination in about 30 mins. Of course the safe was totally empty, but what a rush it was to think about what could've been inside!

The previous safe you found with goodies inside is a treasure itself!!!!

Any ideas yet on how to open the latest safe?

Apparently, prying the handles and dial off just doesn't work too well (LMAO) and a cutting torch could
damage any contents (or ignite explosives) IF you managed to get through the several inches of steel.

Maybe the title of this thread should be: "You'll never know"

Ok, when is this baby going to be cracked open? I had almost forgot about it.

Crack that sucker open! When the police raided... well someone I know... They hit the hinges on the safe and tore the dang door off in minutes. But this was a newer safe.

I cracked one open one time and all that was in it was empty coin rolls.

Good luck!

Heck you're too late. I cleaned that one out about 5 years ago Actually that's really cool. Be sure to lets us know what you find. If I had been the one to open it it would have been full of dog food or something.

After the dog had ate it

SO, just wondering what was in it? I realize this thread is about a year and a half old, but I would really like to know.
