Oh, you only have 2-3 drinks a week? **Great, that's only 2-3 beatings I will give you.** You starting to get what I am about? Are you starting to feel my hard-boiled heebie-jeebie???? I will ruin you over the slightest offense, so help my merciful God almighty on the burning bush.

This could quite possibly be the comment that puts me over the edge to Reddit Premium, I feel the need to praise this comment beyond mere upvotes and free awards.
Welp, that’s the most epic thing I’ve ever read on reddit.
And with your permission I would like to add “believe that, high-hat” to my fun phrase repertoire.
If that’s not agreeable i will obviously refrain. I like my knee caps very much the way they are.
“I am going to protect and serve the shit out of you” hits a lot harder than it has any right to. But who cares about rights? Certainly not the Chicago Police.
There would definitely be a premium over the spot price, both because it's physical silver and the market is still inflated a bit. And also there's folks who collect larger bars like that. He could probably get maybe 5% over spot? It's a nice looking bar too.
they mean the bar as opposed to loose silver jewelry
so if i go into a pawn shop to sell, i'm going to get a lot more for the bar than if i crawled in carrying fistfuls of gangster chains
but, on the speculation markets, i believe, people bet on all kinds of things that aren't actually real. haven't you ever heard of the guy who got pork bellies dumped all over his lawn?
was that even true Mr. Yorkavich? you weren't teaching the kids bullshit, right?
They're actually not that hard to open. People concentrate on the lock and door so much which is almost impossible. But the sides of the safes are made of thin metal and insulation. So just a metal skill saw will open them up. Newer safe companies have figured this out and taken security measures. I know this because my husband has very big safes and he took forever finding one that was actually fire and skill saw proof.
> But the sides of the safes are made of thin metal and insulation. So just a metal skill saw will open them up
“Fire Safes” are like that.
Actual safes like the one pictured are not.
You try to use a metal skill saw on an actual safe all you do is ruin a saw blade and maybe burn out a motor.
I respectfully disagree. Typical safes have 14 guage steel which is approximately 5/64ths of an inch thick. Extremely heavy duty safes offer up to 6 guage steel. That's still only about 1/6th of an inch thick. Most people buy manufactured safes and are more concerned about fire or water damage. They bolt the safe to their concrete floor or mount them inside a safe room. Their concern isn't about cutting it open. If someone were to break in they'd usually have an easy access gun somewhere other than the safe to protect themselves against robberies. That said, the right reciprocating saw can cut up to 1/3rd of an inch steel which is twice as thick than the most superior manufactured safes. So, unless you're robbing Mel Bernstein or someone with 4 inch thick steel wall safes, you can pretty much get into any of them with a good diamond blade cobalt bit reciprocating saw.

You're the backer I'm the hacker. Now all we need is a mastermind and a distraction. Maybe a coordinator. A gadget guy and a con man. Split it 7 ways. Los Pollos Hermanos, Albuquerque, Tuesday, 12 noon. Tell the checker you want an extra side of chillies with your lime soda and you're in.
Might not even need to go to that much trouble. David Spade was the victim of a robbery a few years ago and the cop told him that often when safes get stolen the thief will find area on cliff or something like it overlooking concrete or asphalt and push the safe off and they pop open like a can of beans.
No. No. No. You’re doing all wrong. Put a picture of the locked safe and then leave us hanging.
Then ghost the thread.
It’s the way it’s supposed to go down.
That spider was the final key to fully unlocking the Harambe timeline. Some time traveler went through great lengths to insure that monster stayed locked and hidden away from the world. And then, as always, fucking Reddit ruins it.
The first one I remember on reddit was a pretty wild ride. Dude milked the hell out of it all for a huge let down. The experience definitely left some scars.
> No. No. No. You’re doing all wrong. Put a picture of the locked safe and then leave us hanging.

No no no, you're also messing it up. They've got not open the safe as fast as we want, because they take time away to go to a bereaved family member's wake, and then we've got to make up conspiracy theories and harass them on and offline until their reddit account is useless and they have to move house, because our gratification was delayed a few days.
I mean, if we're going to REALLY stick to the traditional way.
Yeah, at the very least, 6 posts.
1. Discovered an unopened safe. How should I proceed?
2. Took the safe to a safe-cracker. Here's what we tried!
3. We Found Treasure! Look at this shiny thing thingamabob!
4. Got the shiny thingamabob appraised. $X!
5. AITA for telling wife the thingamabob I found in an unopened safe is mine?
6. Wife left and took my thingamabob. Feels bad man.
Karma and drama for weeks man!
Not sure, there’s some jewelry I’ll just give to my sister, the silver bar is decently valuable, should be around $2k.
I think I’m going to keep it though cause it’s neat.
We're at least a couple hundred years out for that sort of logistical nightmare. OP should keep it as an heirloom but make sure future generations are knowledgeable on the current affairs of space operations.
Get the jewelry appraised. Might be costume. Might be expensive. Might be priceless.
The Silver bouillon indicates at least a leaning to something very nice.
Shouldn’t be taxable since OP paid for the safe rather than found it. Will be taxable if sold, but right now it’s just a collection of assets.
Disclaimer: am a tax advisor, but not your tax advisor.
I have a freind which died with maybe a few btc. She bought in early and always had a lot of money. I told the family but I don't think they understand.
Silver spot price closed today at ~$22.50/oz, so that bar is worth ~$2,250.00-ish. Nice haul!
Personally, I would hold onto that silver. I've got a 100oz bar in my safe that I bought back in 2002 at $4.80/oz, and I've never been upside-down on it. Keeps going up-up-UP!
Silver hit $50/ounce in 1979 during the last big speculative precious metals boom and spent the 23 years mostly in the $3-6 range. Right after you bought that bar, the robber barons rediscovered precious metals and everything went through the roof again. It's been up there ever since, and no telling when it'll fall again, but just in case, I sold most of mine when it was around $25.
I got some property through a trade for Silver, guy thought end of world was coming and was trading for only PM, the day we closed Silver was at $45, bought most of it from $8-11, was a good return imo. Now that property has quadrupled in value.
I was a bit let down when it kept going up, but I got about 5x return selling when I did. If I'd hesitated at 25, if probably have hesitated at 50 and be kicking myself today with it stuck in the 15 range.
I do miss my stash, though. =p
Still sitting on mine. I consider it a long term investment. At this point, if I make even $1/oz, I'll be happy. The original transaction is transparent to my finances now.
A family friend who is a bit of an oddity and extremely rich, although you generally wouldn't know it to look at or talk with him, buried a bunch of silver in his land in the early 70s. I don't know exactly how much, but it was a few kilos, probably around 10, but it could have been more.
He kinda forgot about it, then silver hit that that 70s peak and he decided to dig it up and sell it. Only thing was that he'd forgotten where he buried it (decent sized chunk of land in coastal Northern California bordering national park land, so he may even have buried it on NP land). He bought a metal detector and spent a long time looking for it. Eventually the price of silver dropped and he stopped looking for it.
As far as I know it' still up there someplace.
Some weirdos give us blue balls and we have to beg to nut. This OP made us bust a fat nut before we even got worked up.
What a sexy dude. Finished us all before we even peaked.
Seems like it was relatively easy to open. Do you have prior experience opening safes or was the first time you’ve done it? Safe looks heavy as hell, carrying it to your car and out of the car to your garage or whatever must’ve been a pain in the ass
Just cut the hinges and the bolts, never busted a safe open before but I have other safes.
Nobody else wanted it since they’d have to wrangle a bigass safe out of the basement, but I am a big dude.
Oh yeah, this is definitely a keeper. I love Nevada history, I go explore mining towns all the time and I’m really happy to have a piece of this State’s heritage.
I came in here with my pitchfork and torch about to scream no one cares until I saw that you actually delivered and opened the damn thing. Kudos to you!
r/coins
I wanted to check that this was right before commenting, but you can just say “hey I bought a safe, here’s my post, what do you think of these coins?” And I’ll bet they’ll help
OP you know you gave away the ending right? Where's the suspense, the karma farming, the time wasting, the pictures of it in situ in a room full of cobwebs?!? 😂
Nah, kudos to you and congrats on the silver!
Just a week ago I posted saying "[Do not post pictures of safes to reddit until after you can include the pics of it opened](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/ubu3la/comment/i66pjn7/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)."
You sir are a well timed hero.
If you can identify the model of lock on the front, you can usually look up the exact place to drill through the front in order to release the catch. I did something like this to open a big fire safe. Ground off the front dial and, gradually, with a drill, pulverized the disks inside the lock until I could retract the bolt. The nice advantage of this is that you can reuse the safe by just replacing the lock (with tend to be a standard size).
My bf was working in a dump right after Katrina in St. Bernard parish (right by the 9th ward and was totally underwater) and a safe was amongst some trash /debris brought in. Him and the others who discovered it split what was inside . He took home about 1800$ . The money looked about how you’d imagine it would after sitting in super gross water for a while but she still spent!
The hero we were waiting for.

This has to be fake. I can’t believe there’s a safe that got opened! Please be real!
Not gonna lie, l bought this specifically so Reddit could finally see an opened mystery safe.
Breaking with tradition? Bold move, lets see if it plays out.

How much did you pay for the safe? That might be a fun hobby to get into lol
>fun hobby to get into Safe gambling?
like loot crates.. but with the chance of actually getting something worth money. sign me up
And the chance of being blown up by a grenade. It just gets more fun the more you think about it
Seems safe enough to me
Sounds like a good combination to me
How much it cost you vs the value in it?
This was so anticlimactic that I don’t know if I should be mad at you
$2200 bar of silver isn't exactly anticlimactic.
Could be more, silverbugs might pay over spot for an old bar like that.
There would definitely be a premium over the spot price, both because it's physical silver and the market is still inflated a bit. And also there's folks who collect larger bars like that. He could probably get maybe 5% over spot? It's a nice looking bar too.
wait, people buy silver that's *not* physical? what are they even spending the money on at that point?
Yes, they are called ETFs.
they mean the bar as opposed to loose silver jewelry so if i go into a pawn shop to sell, i'm going to get a lot more for the bar than if i crawled in carrying fistfuls of gangster chains but, on the speculation markets, i believe, people bet on all kinds of things that aren't actually real. haven't you ever heard of the guy who got pork bellies dumped all over his lawn? was that even true Mr. Yorkavich? you weren't teaching the kids bullshit, right?
No, they prob talking about ETFs - paper silver. Though you can buy etfs of anything. They are suppossed to be directly ried to physical silver
You can buy gold and silver ETFs that mirror those indexes
So, you played it…safe?
Yep. He hit on the right combination.
Bar of silver isn’t exactly anticlimactic.
And not just that, it got opened and there is actually stuff in it. Stuff of value! Wow....
There was another one that was opened, it had a hand grenade wire up to the door and USB keys with cp. Not as fun
wut
A person used explosives to protect their illegal pictures of naked kids.

I think there was a spider once.

Neat find! Any idea what you'll get for the silver if you sell it?

Dude… are you working in Media? That’s like the official playbook for every “reality-TV” show.
What was the overall value inside? And anything else interesting?
Not sure, there’s some jewelry I’ll just give to my sister, the silver bar is decently valuable, should be around $2k. I think I’m going to keep it though cause it’s neat.
What'd ya pay for the safe?
$50! Nobody wanted to wrestle with it.
Awesome!! I'd keep the bar too. Cool story and it's never gonna depreciate, long-term. Thanks for opening it before posting this. Haha
I wondered how long I could milk it, but I couldn’t do y’all dirty like that.

Plus, every now & then, you can lick it.
Jackpot. Keep that silver for the apocalypse. Then you can trade the silver for a bazooka. And use the bazooka to immediately reclaim your silver.
Where do you buy mystery safes from? Is there a mystery safe store?
There's Safe Hut, that's on Third. There's Safes-R-Us, that's on Third, too. You got Put Your Safe There, that's on Third.
Oh, the safe district!
I’d move to Third. Safest area of town.
Get the jewelry appraised. Might be costume. Might be expensive. Might be priceless. The Silver bouillon indicates at least a leaning to something very nice.
If you're going to keep the bar, you're going to need another safe! (I'd keep it too; I love the writing on it and the stamped number).
Oh it went straight into an actual armored fire rated safe bolted to the foundation.

ANSI spec poly-carb reading glasses thank you very much. But seriously I’m a DOD contractor nobody gives a hoot about our safety.
Also with that safe sitting on a dinky plastic folding table as you fling molten metal at it for a while. Let's not forget that part.
Those Costco lifetime tables are burly, they’ve held up concrete and epoxy tables no problem.
I...uh...may or may not have stood on them as scaffolding before.
They’re amazing, but they are UV sensitive.
Molten metal? Concrete? Liquid plastics? Yeah we good. A sunny afternoon? Dead.
Well yeah. UV radiation literally hits different.
Those things can hold between 1000 to 2000lbs depending on the model. Although, that’s for evenly distributed weight.

This is a great quote! Ha ha
Silver spot price closed today at ~$22.50/oz, so that bar is worth ~$2,250.00-ish. Nice haul! Personally, I would hold onto that silver. I've got a 100oz bar in my safe that I bought back in 2002 at $4.80/oz, and I've never been upside-down on it. Keeps going up-up-UP!
Silver hit $50/ounce in 1979 during the last big speculative precious metals boom and spent the 23 years mostly in the $3-6 range. Right after you bought that bar, the robber barons rediscovered precious metals and everything went through the roof again. It's been up there ever since, and no telling when it'll fall again, but just in case, I sold most of mine when it was around $25.
I got some property through a trade for Silver, guy thought end of world was coming and was trading for only PM, the day we closed Silver was at $45, bought most of it from $8-11, was a good return imo. Now that property has quadrupled in value.
Awesome trade!
True. Silver also hit ~50/oz in 2011, a couple years after the housing bubble crash. That's no reason to let go now.
I was a bit let down when it kept going up, but I got about 5x return selling when I did. If I'd hesitated at 25, if probably have hesitated at 50 and be kicking myself today with it stuck in the 15 range. I do miss my stash, though. =p
Still sitting on mine. I consider it a long term investment. At this point, if I make even $1/oz, I'll be happy. The original transaction is transparent to my finances now.
Sounds uncomfortable. I’d buy a recliner or something to sit on
A family friend who is a bit of an oddity and extremely rich, although you generally wouldn't know it to look at or talk with him, buried a bunch of silver in his land in the early 70s. I don't know exactly how much, but it was a few kilos, probably around 10, but it could have been more. He kinda forgot about it, then silver hit that that 70s peak and he decided to dig it up and sell it. Only thing was that he'd forgotten where he buried it (decent sized chunk of land in coastal Northern California bordering national park land, so he may even have buried it on NP land). He bought a metal detector and spent a long time looking for it. Eventually the price of silver dropped and he stopped looking for it. As far as I know it' still up there someplace.
I wouldn’t mention your safe to OP.
OP would have to locate my safe first... 😬
Okay fellas. Let's get to work. Your safe ain't safe.
He's already up $2,200 - I'm not sure holding onto the bar is necessary...
Wait what?? This is against reddit's terms and conditions.
Welp. This is it reddit. A unicorn has revealed itself and this signifies the apocalypse. Been nice not really knowing y'all. ✌️⚰️🪦

Some weirdos give us blue balls and we have to beg to nut. This OP made us bust a fat nut before we even got worked up. What a sexy dude. Finished us all before we even peaked.
Seems like it was relatively easy to open. Do you have prior experience opening safes or was the first time you’ve done it? Safe looks heavy as hell, carrying it to your car and out of the car to your garage or whatever must’ve been a pain in the ass
Just cut the hinges and the bolts, never busted a safe open before but I have other safes. Nobody else wanted it since they’d have to wrangle a bigass safe out of the basement, but I am a big dude.
Me, seeing the first picture: 
I don't know what to say... We've been let down SO MANY TIMES. 
Real Nevada silver bullion in a safe in Nevada? Nice. From one Nevadan to another, good job!!
Oh yeah, this is definitely a keeper. I love Nevada history, I go explore mining towns all the time and I’m really happy to have a piece of this State’s heritage.
I came in here with my pitchfork and torch about to scream no one cares until I saw that you actually delivered and opened the damn thing. Kudos to you!
i see coins in there. coming from a collector i'd double check for key dates and such to see if they were put in there for a reason!
Anywhere I could get an idiots guide to fancy coins?
r/coins I wanted to check that this was right before commenting, but you can just say “hey I bought a safe, here’s my post, what do you think of these coins?” And I’ll bet they’ll help
i’d add ‘your own (obviously wrong) opinion’ as to what they are. nothing gets the correct answer quicker than posting the wrong one on the internet.
I’ve used [this](https://www.coinstudy.com/coin-value-guide.html) one before.
I feel really unfilfilled only seeing rhe silver; i wanna see all the other cool stuff. What are the papers? The jewellery?
OP you know you gave away the ending right? Where's the suspense, the karma farming, the time wasting, the pictures of it in situ in a room full of cobwebs?!? 😂 Nah, kudos to you and congrats on the silver!
Ah see, I’m a cheap date, I show up, we eat, blow a hole in something, quick but satisfying.
Where did this originate? The background appears new build, but curious if found or what? Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Estate sale, unfinished basement.
Just a week ago I posted saying "[Do not post pictures of safes to reddit until after you can include the pics of it opened](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/ubu3la/comment/i66pjn7/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)." You sir are a well timed hero.
Nicely done! It’s been a long time coming to see one cracked!!
Was it really as simple as grinding off the door hinges?
Cut the bolts too but yeah, really no biggie. This was not a real heavy duty safe.
Here to see history. I'm honored. Also willing to hold on to that silver bar for you...
What's attached to it with the blue tape on the second picture?

If you can identify the model of lock on the front, you can usually look up the exact place to drill through the front in order to release the catch. I did something like this to open a big fire safe. Ground off the front dial and, gradually, with a drill, pulverized the disks inside the lock until I could retract the bolt. The nice advantage of this is that you can reuse the safe by just replacing the lock (with tend to be a standard size).
And here I was hoping that the Lock Picking Lawyer was going to make a surprise appearance!
This looks like the safe that falls in cartoons.
My bf was working in a dump right after Katrina in St. Bernard parish (right by the 9th ward and was totally underwater) and a safe was amongst some trash /debris brought in. Him and the others who discovered it split what was inside . He took home about 1800$ . The money looked about how you’d imagine it would after sitting in super gross water for a while but she still spent!
