Finding an old safe: Far from finding treasure!

Stephen Wylde • Jan 01, 2017


Last month a couple in Phoenix, Arizona found an old safe hidden under the floor of their house when they began renovating their kitchen. After several attempts, using a safe code they had found when they initially moved in, the safe opened and inside they were greeted with over £30,000 in old notes, a book and a bottle of bourbon. It has since transpired that the book contains notes and images which many believe to be clues leading to a second safe!

Now not everyone will be this lucky when discovering an old safe, in fact for the majority finding one can be a major inconvenience, especially when it comes to disposing of something that can weigh in excess of one tonne. Luckily here at NLS Security we have more than 30 years experience in moving, installing & disposing of safes of all sizes and will be more than happy to help should this happen.
