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?

OP you are hilarious!! I've been properly giggling at this thread. Come along now Kyle show us all what your big drill has hit!!

I cut a date short for this! He was dull and this is amazing!!!

Can we start a cheerleading squad?
Go Kyle. Go Kyle.
Haven't got any pompoms but can waft around some kitchen roll.

Cheers Funko

Hope it's worth it!

How much is it costing you for kyle to do this today?

Go Kyle, Go!
Go Kyle, Go!

OP you are a legend by the way, top post and top updating

However much it is, he could at least take his shirt off.

In fact op, whack the heating on in there...there's a love 😂

Thanks for the pics as they weren't showing on desktop

Don't you worry Gutter. You brought Gin

He's having a smoke break. After all that hammering.

Bastard. I can't or I shall get a divorce. Smoke I mean.

DH is now sitting in my viewing chair.

What a super thread this is! High fives all round. Well done, everybody. Jolly good.

Nooooo, no breaks Kyle! Crack the safe for the love of all things nosy!!

Whilst we're waiting. Have you checked to see if your new house has a safe? Or a secret floor? Or a hidden room? I'm going to feel bereft after Kyle opens the safe

Well Kyle definitely isn't a mumsnetter!

Casually ask if he has a wife op.
And then casually ask if she reads mumsnet.

Then casually wrote an AIBU entitled: AIBU to ask Kyle the safe crackers wife to ring him and tell him to get back to the fucking job in hand and take your top off

How have I missed this?

Come in Kyle!

Rtkanga $585 but just agreed if paid in cash we get 50 off. ---- Love to bargain, even over safe cracking!

Cheap at the price in truth. I just need to know, so I can move on with my life and not have to name change and flea the country

Maybe you could suggest crowdfunding OP? Then live stream it to all subscribers.

OP, I'm hoping you find something amazing in there. Fingers crossed.

Someone had left a lovely bit of jewellery in the house we bought. We mentioned to the previous home owner, but they didn't know anything about it.

Hurry up, Kyle.

I thought it was 380 for Wednesday morning??

I was just about to go to bed! Looks like you're all coming with me because I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FUCKER TO FINALLY BE OPENED!!!!!!

There once was a man called Kyle
Who'd crack open OP's safe in a while
MN said no breaks
Let us in FFS
We'd get in faster using a file!

Only kidding Kyle, I'm trying to stay awake for the grand opening.
