Come all ye Safe Crackers - AIBU to move without opening it?

[2017SoFarSoGood]

Fool that I am, I chose AIBU for my first post. Eek! Here goes.

15 years ago we moved into our beautiful home. In the downstairs room (family room I guess) there is a large walk-in closet. In the back of that closet, to the right, there is another smaller closet, without a door. The bottom 3 feet is raised, and carpeted, oddly. Hardwood floors everywhere but there. DH poked around, and lo and behold: the raised floor (I shall draw a diagram if I this thread gets any interest - I know it is a prerequisite in circumstances such as these) lifts up! It is a carpet covered fake floor covering A LOCKED SAFE. A rather large, locked safe. Locked tight. It is built into the cupboard.

So here's my AIBU. Is it unreasonable to spend $500 or so to have a locksmith come crack it? We are preparing to sell up, and could find lots of other things to do with that money. We could leave it for the new owners to open, but where is the fun in that? On the other hand, what if it has even one thing of wonder (or value) locked inside?

Would you crack it?

Wou ld you take bets on what lives inside?

OooOoh sleep can wait

How have a missed this thread. Why did none of you bastards tell me it was here?

You better update when it's open OP. YOU BETTER.

open it

The safe isn't open yet

How much longer OP do you realise how many of us are dying inside!!!!!

I'll get a quick flight over and see how it's going I can't cope

Poss- was just thinking the same!

okay come on over PossibiliTea your help is much appreciated.

You people are scary. I'm so scared of letting you down I'm willing to get rid of my erstwhile darling DH of 37 years, the one I adored beyond all others just a day or so ago. That was then. My allegiance has now switched. Fear is a wanton mistress. Poor man.

let's go I don't think I can sleep

OP don't be scared we are all in this with you. if there's nothing in there though message me and I'll help you make something up or just name change and never return to this thread

a scale. Shit. May I delete this thread and repost with an amended (to scale) diagram?

Absolutely

but if i were you i would be too scared of the rest of them to do it...you gave your location they will find you

Cobwebs is the most exciting things I've ever found in our house.
Hope you can get a locksmith there soon

Victorian safe thread was before my MN time, this has cheered me up no end!
for you OP, I couldn't cope with the antipation if I were you

1:47am here and I can't sleep. What did I do? Read a book? Make a cuppa? No! Fool that I am I came on here and there's NOBODY UPDATE!!!!!!

( ahem! Bloody update - unless safe has been opened and there's a body update.......:/)

As you were.

The last post I read like this was a big chest in someone's attic. It was empty :( 14 pages in and I'm going to have to keep checking back on this one to the bitter end, but if it's bereft of exciting treasures I'm going to be severely disappointed. No pressure.

Placemarking because I love a good safe and possible disappointment

The suspense!!!!

On a related note, I have sadly fallen way behind on the CFN / Spanish Granny saga. If someone could please post a link to the latest read I would be forever grateful

I am currently in South Illinois and considering driving over to open the godammned thing myself help you. I'm fairly certain I can be there in 20 hours. If I don't sleep/eat/pee/ stop for gas and break the speed limit!

Ok listen up people. The REAL safe guy just texted that he shall ring in the morning to arrange a time to come 'take care of' our safe. He is the real deal. I am definitely staying home until we talk. And I tell him come over right now. On pain of mine and DHs death.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be the best day ever. CFN parking thread potential resolution. CFN SpanGran VIP council visit and my safe guy.

Who the hell will get any sleep if you're not already sleeping?

I sense that not much productivity shall happen on the morrow.

Excited!

Can't wait OP. This thread has taken over my life!

Against my better judgement after that other safe thread I'm waiting eagerly to see what's inside.

Oh @SchadenfreudePersonified ....I'm so disappointed in vlad and vanka. Poor SpanGran
