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?

Just checking in...

PicardsCombOver · 09/08/2017 21:17

OPEN THE FUCKING SAFE KYLE!!! He's toying with us. Fuck sakes.

CremeFresh · 09/08/2017 21:17

Are you Going to frisk Kyle when he leaves just to make sure he hasn't pilfered any loot?

Puzzledandpissedoff · 09/08/2017 21:18

Thanks, Creme Smile

Hate to be ungrateful but he doesn't look very promising, does he? Not very tall, apparently, and is that a gut or just the way his shirt falls?

Never mind ... as long as he opens this bloody safe ...

SnowiestMountain · 09/08/2017 21:18

And I say it again, is that bloody safe not open yet?! GrinWink

2017SoFarSoGood · 09/08/2017 21:20

I will get a good pictutre of Kyle with the opened safe. Promise.

Loud drilling again. It is 1 13 pm and I'm trying to eat somr breakfast to stop me from throwing up. Been up since 5 30 but all this puts you off your food.

To poster asking if new home has been checked yet. New home has not been found yet. Crazy market here. Realtor tells us homes in our neighborhood will sell in 10 days max. Cash. Norm is to let seller stay rent free for another 30 to 45 days, during which time we shall be out trying to find new home, cash. It is a great market to be a seller. Going to be tight being the winning offer on house we want. I may have to start a support thread when we get to that place.

Go go gadget Kyle!

SleepingStandingUp · 09/08/2017 21:24

Is he still alive?
Have the dolls sucked out his eyeballs?

FreeButtonBee · 09/08/2017 21:24

FFS! I reckoned almost 9.30 would mean I was going to be free and clear for a resolution! Where is the money shot?!?

Funko · 09/08/2017 21:25

Right. I had to go pee.

So I also got changed into pjs, bra off etc.

Put a wash on.

Remembered it's fucking bin day tomorrow.... strolls out the front with bin bag for wheely bin and drags it down the drive (pjs, no bra, not small and pert)

AND ITS STILL NOT OPEN!

Op, we need tales from Kyle of cracked safes past. Does he have any juicy ones?

NoodleNinja · 09/08/2017 21:25

Had forgot about this thread then saw it and the the time and squealed with delight at a conclusion......

COME ON KYLE shake your arse.

HappyGoLuckyGirl · 09/08/2017 21:26

I'm recovering from a breast reduction and tummy tuck and my head is slightly fuzzy on painkillers but I'm desperately trying to stay awake for the big reveal!

Please tell me it's going to be sooooon.

CremeFresh · 09/08/2017 21:27

I wonder if Kyle does other things other than safe crack ? How many safes can there be that need cracking Confused

Tazerface · 09/08/2017 21:30

Can't believe we're still waiting!

Hurry up Kyle.

Tazerface · 09/08/2017 21:33

@CremeFresh it probably depends on how many banks and rich people are in the area WinkGrin I suspect most people don't pay him!

YouTheCat · 09/08/2017 21:34

I bet there's not a damn thing in it.

loaferloveforyou · 09/08/2017 21:34

Yawn - come on Kyle!!

TroelsLovesSquinkies · 09/08/2017 21:34

Dam it Kyle, work faster.

ColourfulOrangex · 09/08/2017 21:34

We are going to need a new thread soon @2017SoFarSoGood I can't miss out on finding what's in there - if there is something Smile

EhWhatPardon · 09/08/2017 21:34

I'm getting a stress headache.... howay Kyle

Stuckinstressville · 09/08/2017 21:35

Ocean 8-22 took less time to plan Kyle! Clearly he was not consulted on epic quick daring and hot safe breaking.

DJBaggySmalls · 09/08/2017 21:35

I bet it contains some really lovely bones.
Have you checked for loose floorboards with hiding spaces underneath?

Justmuddlingalong · 09/08/2017 21:35

WooWooSister · 09/08/2017 21:38

2017 I asked about the new house. The US system sounds pretty stressful. DH works in property so he is now very interested in the property market where you are and in the safe saga. He'll be turning up on your doorstep shortly Grin
