Cache found in piano!

[watercolor]

Two years after our 80-year-old neighbor passed away, his children have been spending time
remodeling the interior of the house. . . painting, new wooden floors, new fixtures, etc. before
they finally list the house with a local real estate broker.

After returning home from our local Memorial Day parade. . . (many Thanks to our Vets out there). . .
our neighbor's kids were there to dispose of one final item that was in the still in the basement
of the house. . . an old "up-right" piano that has seen better days. As an off-the cuff remark, I
suggested that before they get rid of it, they should check it for any hidden "treasures" that may
be inside. After a good laugh, we all went down to the basement and started dismantling the major
parts of the old piano. After removing the bottom panel by the foot-petals, we were ALL surprised to
see a metal box that was firmly bolted to the interior base of the piano. As our hearts raced, we
opened the box and revealed the hidden cache that was inside. . .





I think their father, who is now "up above", had the final laugh. . . to be sure.

Thanks for looking,

That was a very cool find, I bet dad got out of the box and took care of the other contents, years ago!

if he stashed these dog tags in the piano like that, imagine what else could be hidden around that house.

That is sooooo strange! Why would ANYBODY put a box inside a piano to hide dog tags? No matter where I put my mind, I can't solve that one! Thanks for sharing, WC!!!

Holy cow! I think Clump63 is right. Watercolor, you'd better buy that house & take it apart.

Great find & story. I bet the heart was racing on that hunt. Makes my lousy '60 Rosey pale in comparison.........

Where did he hide all their little bodies?

Something strange there. Doggie serial killer?. Dognapper?

Check the name and address on the tags maybe there is a phone number?

If they are missing a dog, crime, I mean mystery solved.
