PLEASE do NOT cut the door off , do not attempt to pry the door loose , do not do any possible further damage to this collectible .
Please follow c4a's advice. This "thing" has some serious value, outside of whatever might have been stashed *inside*.
Since you've already shared this info with the Internet (oops), maybe you could consider contacting a local TV station or "If Walls Could Talk". This is the kind of thing that a news broadcast or special interest programming show would just EAT up during sweeps (when the prices for buying airtime are set). The next sweeps is coming up soon...it's November.
agnes!
I wouldn't contact the news just yet. If it is empty-another Geraldo moment.
If it DOES have something in it-would be inviting strangers from the area into the home. There is NO WAY someone can just "pick the safe up & cart it, off"; however, in frustration-theives may find other things that they could take or break. That would be a horrible ironic twist of fate...found safe causes unsafe feeling in home.
My motto is "safety first".
My stomach is FULL of butterflies. How in the world are you staying calm? This is worse than Christmas morning-I don't know whether to cry, laugh or throw up.
