Just think how happy the owner's will be when you contact them.
So how did you get it opened? Beat it, till it surrendered? Look in the hole and dial the combo?
Are you going to try to fix and re-use the safe or just cover it, fill it with concrete.?
It is good to see someone finally found goodies inside.


I couldn't believe it myself since everyone on forums and locksmiths all told me 99% chance there's probably nothing inside!

Heh, fun! Since you got it open you should post this on reddit for tons of internet points. Reddit loves safes that people actually get open. And have things in them.

Atleast with a floor safe there's very little danger he carried the safe away from some burglary :)

Shame you drilled it, but atleast it's a minimally destructive drilling. You should patch it up, fix whatever's making the safe hard to open, and use it!

The safe is back up and working. Yeah, it was cemented to the ground so no burglary took place :)

Reddit? I wonder how safe it would be to post it there. People might start claiming they own it or that they knew the owner. When I got it open there was a lot of grease at the bottom. I'm thinking people tried to get it open with some grease but couldn't as the 1st wheel wasn't catching the 2nd wheel which was my main problem.I had to pull the dial shaft really hard with pliers just to get the 1st wheel to move.The code Sentry Safe gave me was the right code, the wheels were just jammed.

Sorry. Had to delete all the pics while I do some research on all the legal matters regarding taxes or ownership.
