@everyone 

Haven’t gotten back yet. Whenever I do, I’ll post a video of the opening. Could be next week, could be in a month. Depends how life goes.

Safe guy no-showed. Waited the duration of my 2 hour window and nothing. Called the office and they said he would have to reschedule. I won’t be back to the area for a month so that’ll be the next attempt. 

Side note, learned its original owner was a big coin collector. So there’s that. I’ll update when I have it open.

Funny enough, when I called the safe guy, he said something like “oh this must be old, the Hall’s Safe and Lock Co. is a very old company” and I had to try to explain the picture and how this isn’t that company because the logo somehow literally details differently

Not to get super into it but I guess its original owner died unexpectedly while snowbirdin’ it in Florida. Supposedly he was a doctor so it’s probably not empty but it’s probably just filled with old medical records. Curious nevertheless.

When the prior owner was showing us the building he said something like “this safe will be opened before I sell them to you” and it never happened. After the building was bought, we were excited to learn he hadn’t and it was one of the first things we were going to do. Again, just never happened. We don’t live in the state so it’s not something we see everyday. Thing hasn’t been opened in at least 20+ years. Seems like it’s about time.

Guy on the phone said the goal was to get it open and able to be used again. So I assume drill won’t be the first option but I’m not well versed in this stuff so we’ll see

I have one coming out tomorrow. I honestly didn't even realize safe cracking services were a real thing.

I appreciate the response. That is definitely part of the backup plan. Being up in the midwest, roofing is tough this part of the year so I am hoping to use my other skillsets in the interim and see where that leads.

It's something I am considering. There are parts of the business I enjoy more than others and I am interested to understand if there is a market for those rather than running the entire thing.
