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?

How exciting!!

total placemark💰

I'm up.

ThankgodhemakesfabcoffeeDH is up and at it. My lovely assistant on the other side of the bay texted to offer coffee at 5 30. We are ready.

Now what you need to understand is that in (at least this part of) Trumpville, is that trades people are gods. Paid in stacks of newly minted notes, or sex and flesh if they prefer. One does not just command then to appear. One begs and wheedles and appeals. Then waits. Should they deign to respond, then the negotiation begins.
Next step is the call and the invitation.

Until we hear his voice he may be a ploy my shitscaredoftheoceanfloorDH made up to appease you relentless bastards me, he did show me texts but... (You know this is dire when the three dots comes into play)

The Russians are coming. The Russians are coming. Schad I suggest we crowdsource to pay you for the blog pleasures. The best. You are an artist who. Thank you. ❤️

....

JUST TELL US ALL WHAT TIME THE BLOODY LOCKSMITH IS COMING WITH YOU!!!

( Rant over - as you were )
I'm.just far too invested. I may need therapy........

Placemark! Hope the guy (and that there IS a guy) can either crack it open or make a plan today...

Paid in . . . . . . . sex and flesh if they prefer

I have loads of flesh. Several stones too much . . . I am prepared to make the ^ultimate sacrifice* if necessary provided the locksmith looks like Mark Harmon

Morning 2017 , we you need a backup plan in case the locksmith doesn't want to partake in sins of the flesh turn up.

Placemark shame here.....im excited...

Placemark!! I am SO excited to hear what's in the safe!!

Placemark

So placemarking.

Hurray it's morning again!

Oooo I am glad I found this thread late and hopefully close to a resolution!

I am hoping it contains a mysterious letter.

I can also offer copious amounts of spare flesh and sex if needs be! 😃

De-lurking and awaiting the arrival of the locksmith. Both the CFN threads have had successful outcome today - hoping there is a 3rd successful outcome here because I need to spend time with DH & DD this weekend without having to check MN every few minutes.

Just popping in to say hello.

The excitement of this is making up for no more Great British Bake off!!

Omg when is the locksmith there!

Does google tell you how many numbers are needed? And if it's clockwise or counter clockwise first?

If 4 numbers, you have to spin 5 times to the first number, spin spin spin spin, the the last time, feel for that click in the tension, then 4 times to the next number in the opposite direction, then 3 times in the original direction, then 2 opposite way again to the last then other way to the lock point (which is usually 5)

If 3 numbers, then it's 4 to first, 3 to second, 2 to last, then back to lock point!

Waiting

Biting fingernails!

Is it open yet??!

I am running out of signal and battery. Why did I go away to the countryside just in time for the locksmith's visit.

Place marking - can't wait to find out what's in there!

I promised myself I WOULD NOT open this thread when I first saw it 2 days ago. And yet...here I am...and the bastard thing is STILL NOT OPEN!!
