Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 So he says anyone who can get it out of there gets the contents for free. Boy is he going to feel like an ass if it happens to contain the last owner's life savings and gambling winnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 The problem is getting it out of the building. After that, a few cutoff wheels on a grinder would get it open. Really, a lock is just another way in. If it was local, I would tackle it just for fun. Oh, form the article... The previous owner of the house (passed away) dealt in gold.

Snake River Clay Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 They did everything backwards. Move safe then renovate. They should have cut the safe open where it is. Empty it out. Gold is heavy so if that's what is in it getting it out will make it lighter. Then dismantle the safe to make it lighter and smaller to get down the stairs.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hire piano movers! True professional movers would get it out in a heartbeat! This guy's too cheap to hire a mover! What a jerk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy's too cheap to hire a mover! What a jerk! When I was in grad school half a century ago, we all helped each other move. We were in Computer Science. So six geeks could not get an upright into the apartment. Along came a telephone repairman, problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 So the safe has wheels on it and you want it DOWN the stairs. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I'd say the movers solution is best. I saw a nine hundred pound pipe organ moved UP a flight of stairs with a landing half way up. I'd have bet it couldn't be done, but they did. Organ and pipes were separated first, but still..... My second choice would be a good man with torch and some time on his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Get a good cutter, and get it open in the room where it is now. If there is a treasure in it, you will be able to afford to pay somebody to fix the hole in the wall that you chainsaw out in order to wheel the empty thing out into the air, and then to dig it out of the ground after falling from the second floor. If it is truly empty, then just keep cutting until it is in small enough pieces to throw out the window. MIght be fun to play with if I was a little closer to Boston.

J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I believe I could get it down the stairs. I moved a gunsafe up a similar flight of stairs with a come along and an appliance dolly some years back. I am sure I could get it open as well. I am, however, of the opinion that the safe is probably empty or full of worthless crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We was younger then. Back when there was a circus with a side show that came to town. I believe “Jerry” spent a lot of time with the side shows. ‘Cept he never learned how to close the act so you’d come back another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
