I busted open a safe!

[λngelღмander]

There has been a safe sitting in the closet by my front door for a long time now. I found the key to it about a week ago, but without the combination, the key was useless. The key has to be turned and the correct combination must be entered for it to open.

 

The solution? Cut it open.

 

It took about half an hour. The safe was actually a fire safe, and it was one thin layer of sheet metal surrounding about two inches of drywall, and past that another layer of thin fragile plastic. The sawzall cut through it like butter after I cut a hole in it with the die grinder.

 

 

Inside the safe I found a black box and an envelope containing the deed to an old house:

I blocked off my mother's name with the pen, I don't care if you see the address or not.

 

Inside the black box...

 

JACKPOT

 

 

 

My father thinks the emeralds are real. The pearl necklace is definitely real. I think the diamonds are fake, and I don't know about any of the gold. I'm going to take it to a jewelers to have it all appraised sometime soon.

On a serious note, what are you going to do with the jewellery if you know they're valuable?

probably keep them, I don't need the money really. I do want to know what I've got. These are the last things my mother had, she sold most of her other stuff.

[MrDeepDarkmind]

I'd rather keep it and not sell it because it's something to remember why they bought it

Like I have a old karmann ghia in the backyard like it's a lot of cash but then I'd keep it because it's one of my favorite designs and even tho it costs a lot I'd still keep it because I like the 50s-80s car

A deed to an old house? Thats awesome. New home. When's the moving day?

its the house I grew up in. The deed is from '94, you can see the date at the top left. We still own it, but it's a meh house with a lot of work needing to be done, pretty sure it's getting foreclosed.

 

We moved out of there in like 2008, around the end of 4th grade for me.

900 USD for all of it, 1400 if the emeralds turn out real

[=TNW= Maximus™]

Dude, that's really awesome! I'd keep them unless you're REALLY need cash

[NotWarlizard]

This is awesome, so happy for you! Nice memories, that's for sure.

 

One thing though....reddit has a real obsession over locked safes, make a post of finding it, then a day later of opening it...thousands of karma points.

[λngelღмander]

 I just I just got out of the jeweler's, the Jeweler priced them at roughly 3500 bucks. I think I'm going to keep them but this is a really awesome find, it's like my dreams have come true, my envy of all of those people opening safes and finding treasures is now my own experience!

Even the people that open the gigantic ass safes from the bank because that's a good experience since they always have some cool treasure on it or a deep buried treasure.

Pretty sure there was a game base on safe breaking I think it's called Payday 2

But tbh most treasured stuff would be things that have been around for 20-40 years

karmann ghia

Very nice, I love that style of car. Looking at getting an MGB or Triumph Spitfire which both look very similar

[The Oddball]

pay karma with the money

[Tako]

Looks more like you just blew it open

Selling jewelry is just like trading! 

 

Regardless, gratz on the find whether or not you choose to sell the jewelry.

Well if you could eventually afford it, it'd might be a fun project if you were into that type of thing.

well if it was a party it would be the party of kinks with puddingkip

I doubt $3500 would be enough to hire a hitman, but y'know it's enough to make people look the other way if you decide to take matters in your own hands...

$100,0000-One million cash counts as long it doesn't deal with politics or the president its ok

[Professional Map Painter]

I wonder how long it'll take until this becomes a Payday 2 DLC.
