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?

YY to the live stream!

He'll be missing more than a drill bit if he doesn't get a move on!

I read all the way through hoping that the safe would have been cracked by the time I get to the end.

Please tell me that the safe has been cracked. It's Wednesday! I've waited!

Come on!!!

I thought safe cracked would have been by now 😩

He texted he is on his way. In the hills somewhere close.

Somehow his name is now Kyle. Kyle the Cracker sounds fine but is it actually a thing to change human mid wait? He's got a lot to answer for when he finally gets here.

Let me see how to live stream. May practice on totallynonchalantcouldgivenolessfsDH whilst I wait

It's bedtime for kiddies here, there is not a child washed, they are very lucky they've been fed to be honest. Afraid to miss a thing. Tell locky to hurry the eff up

The op is going to have to start a new thread to update us all on the outcome as this one is nearly full!

Now where is the update?

Oh god! Dare I say this is more gripping than Game of Thrones?!

Well I suggest Kyle pulls his finger out , comes down from them tharrrr hills and OPENS THE SAAAAAAFE.

Tebbski

Game of Safes
A Song of Houses and Safes

The OP is Mother of Safes, Ruler of the Thead.

C'mon Kyle the cracker- tis bedtime here in north yorkshire, and the kidaroos are needing stories and i dont want to miss this!!!

I guess it's happening now?

I think I may be a little bit in love with Kyle if he actually gets his ass there and does how thing. Even if you don't find anything. As long as he has 'tools' and a stethoscope as I'm expecting.

Can we have an OP / Kyle selfie complete with masses of jewels and gold please?

Oh and this thread was always destined to hit the 1000 post spot. Just at the crucial time..

He's coming up the drive now...

This is going to happen!

There once was a man named Kyle

Who thought nothing of taking a while.

To come down from the hills

And abandon his drills

And open the safe with his file.

I'm so excited about this, that I think I would combust if it was actually my safe in my house. Deep breaths OP, we need you alive so you can update.

Placemarking!

I'm so pleased I've only just found this thread. Don't think I could have coped being on it from the beginning

Am I too late? Did I miss it? Did I?

Aaaaahhhhh!!! Kyle has arrived!

How exciting!

(Sh. Kyle is kinda cute. Nice firm butt hand shake.

Might not be too much need to rush him as he works 😜
