Where does it say the locker was broken for 62 years? Your reading comprehension of this video is incorrect. The locker has been there for 62 years. Only the spacer (lining) was loose and that was a recent development. _It never said the spacer was loose for 62 years_ .

@@glenn6448 My dad and his drinking buddies once chipped into buy a 1970s Chevy truck with the old H 4-speed stick shift. It was built like a WW2 tank. The bed wouldn't rust and it even had the old fashioned latched tailgate. Not a bad idea as you HAD to make sure you latched it or it would make a flapping sound. Nowadays, I see videos of owners infuriated at the corner cutting going on with truck brands. One owner showed how bad it was: he dropped a rock in his truck bed and it punched a hole right through the metal. That would never happen with my dad's old pickup. My dad was old school and made it stone cold clear: you want a car? You HAVE to learn to use a manual, even if your first car is an auto! Fast forward to today and I'm actually sad that manuals are going away. I seriously think the last petrol car I ever drive will be the one I have now: VW GTI with 6 speed manual. It takes off like a scalded cat. I'm almost scared to floor it. It really does feel like your face is being peeled off when you push the car as hard as you can! Before that, I had a MINI Cooper. Like the GTI, they made it small to keep weight down. The engine had only 120 hp but it also took off when you wanted it too. It had an odd differential, you had to make sure you had a solid grip on the wheel or you'd veer off to the right. Owners of the brand jokingly referred to it as the MINI swerve!

I was just about to write a similar comment, as that was my first thought when i read this story! I remember losing my wallet (or rather, I’d had it stolen) at 15 - I had my first bank card in it & my first wage packet inside. I was more heartbroken over the photograph of my puppy, Candy, & the tickets I’d kept of travelling with friends (I kept them for memories sake). I’m 33 now & still think of it! It’s a real shame she wasn’t alive to see it again, but what a lovely story regarding how her family have treasured its contents ! X
