I found a locked safe hidden at the back of a closet in my new house

Whew.

For a moment there Iā€™d thought Iā€™d missed something.

Iā€™m pretty sure both my grandfathers were (and one still is) that guy. But only one of them was the murder hillbilly type. The other is 5 foot Irish guy in a very nice sweater.

Have we been listening to a wee little man with ginger hair tell us about his secret treasure all this time?

If I understand my Irish Folklore correctly we should all be keeping a very close watch on our cows at this point.

Heā€™ll remember having forgotten once the safe is opened and the time leak is exposed.

Maybe we wonā€™t hear from Rob because the safe was actually the lost Ark of the Covenant and Rob and the locksmith didnā€™t know all they had to do to avoid Wrath of God Face Melting was close their eyesā€¦

Update: it wonā€™t be until next week because special equipment is required for a nondestructive opening. I presume itā€™s the fiber optic camera stuff to see inside the safe after drilling a hole, etc.

I was tempted to just disappear from the face of the internet for about three months and just post under my coeditorsā€™ names, but I would get caught.

Are you keeping the same time slot? I have to set up the VCR, yā€™know. I donā€™t want to end up with a tape full of Cory rambling about Tasmanian copyright.

Will the approach be to drill and scope to peek at the safe contents, to see if thereā€™s anything within other than ghost farts, before going through the trouble of actually opening the lock? Or, if most of the fun is likely to be derived from the lock-opening porn itself, will Mister Scopey resist the temptation to cast its unblinking eye over the Loot Room and merely confine its gaze to the lock mechanism itself, thus maximizing the drama of the moment the door creaks open, but also raising the effort-vs-payoff stakes?

I think I already know the answer, though I think Iā€™d probably peek first before committing to opening. Iā€™m no oak.

Eh from what Iā€™ve seen they only drill through the front plate of the safe, so they can see the internal wheels while they fiddle with the dial. Evil will still be completely sequestered behind the door. To be unleashed only when the door is cracked.

I ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didnā€™t have change for cab fare! I lost my tux at the cleaners! I locked my keys in the car! An old friend came in from out of town! Someone stole my car! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASNā€™T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

Actually that was my guess for whatā€™s in the safe.
