Safe sealed since 1970, today it gets opened up! Hoarder House Safe opening

After losing the combo 50 years ago, we get some help to bust open this safe to see what's inside! plus I do some exploration in a once hoarded house to see if I can find any treasures left in the house!

We did the same thing with my grandfathers safe. Thought it was empty, almost walked away, but worked a few more minutes and got it open. It looked empty, but found that grandpa had taped an envelope to the bottom of the shelf. It had $10,000. In it.

Years ago I worked for a company that bought businesses and estates. And auctioned off the contents. We had a customer that could open a safe in less then ten minutes, including barrel safes, cannonball safes and even bank vaults. Without damaging them. Often the safes themselves were worth more then the contents.

I read a story that someone bought a hoarders house with all contents and the hoarders had lots and lots of books.

When Alec spoke of the Cold war... I was raised in a big old place in AB Canada. It was the RCMP detachment for years. We moved in around 1961 or 62. The was a bomb shelter underground in our backyard. It was shaped like a huge culvert, about 15 or 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. We used to play in it as kids. It had been put there during the Cold War scare. It even had one of those manual wheels in it for pumping in fresh air. Like bringing in air from a toxic environment topside would be good for anyone. Mind you, they also told us to hide under our desks if a nuclear bomb exploded! Haha!

Alex, I was wondering if the gentleman might have been Austrian. The book in the attic called Kreisky, is about a previous Austrian chancellor. And the small booklet with photos from Abbazia would also fit in with that. Before and during WWI Austria was a big country, stretching to the Mediterranean Sea. Abbazia was Austrian, now it´s called Opatija and is a Croatian coastal city on the peninsula of Istrien. A wonderful vacation spot. If you ever need help with something in old German print or handwriting, I might be able to help you with that.

What a pretty home. Not too many from that period left in this area - developers even come up with ways of tearing down historical protected examples. Seems like any house sold older than about 2000 is doomed to be torn down. The firesafe probably would've opened quickly with an angle grinder to the side. They arent very tough, just a thin metal skin over insulation. I was expecting it to be decoded at $500 - brute force shouldn't cost anywhere near that.

[@joygernautm6641]

The house I live in was built in 1943. It is a small “war” house (basically a small two bedroom one bathhouse with a full basement that you access from a door outside). A laundry room and extra bedroom were added on sometime in the 70s on the back of the house. I did a large renovation of the kitchen and bathroom and replaced windows etc. etc. and so many people said I should’ve just tore the house down and built new on the property.

Regarding the pennant- Saltair was a lakeside resort / boardwalk on the great salt lake outside Salt Lake City, Utah. It burned down a few times, and ruins of the old structures remained for a while and gradually dwindled with vandals. There was even a train that went from the city out to the lake and an old train car remained out there covered in layers of graffiti, etc but was a favorite photo subject. There’s a building there now called the great saltair that is a concert venue. Cool history on a lake that many people ignore now.

My dad knew how to crack a safe and was occasionally hired by someone who got locked out of his safe and didn't want it ruined. We don't know how he did it because he never told anyone, but I suspect it was like Richard Feynman, a physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project, opened locked safes. Feynman was a really curious sort and he learned how just for kicks. I read about his exploits in his book, "Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman!" Delightful book. Anyway, I don't think you got much of a safe cracker there. If my dad (a house painter) and Mr. Feynman (a nuclear scientist) could get in through the door without ruining the safe, then it's got to be a fairly doable task. From the look of the doctor's books, they must be old, because doctors no longer seem to want to PREVENT you from getting a disease. No money to be made there. Unless, of course, he was a chiropractor or naturopathic doctor or someone who studied nutrition as part of his craft. Back in 1964, my girlfriend and I were living in her dad's old trailer. He was a WWII vet. That winter we had a lot of trouble finding work and were really going hungry. We found her dad had saved a bunch of those canned army meals, so that is what we lived on that winter. Absolutely HORRIBLE tasting stuff. Only thing positive I can say is it was better than starving. Not one of my more pleasant memories.

I have a friend who's into war stuff so I had to send him this. He has a working old gun passed down from World War 2. It was passed down over the years from someone who was in the war and it was maintained. they had it repaired and restored as needed but it was originally from the war. My friend got it to work again after all this time and shot it a few times to test it. It was cleaned and put on display. A piece like that is nice. He told me it was from a a distant family member back when the war happened and just passed down. No one wanted it and he eventually got it because he loves collecting war stuff. He also has a Lego collection and one day when I eventually find where I had put that Lego musket he'd get because it's a great war like piece for his Lego figures. The musket is a gun from the toy soldier mini figure sold with a book that my brother had before he gave me all his Legos. I saved a few important Lego pieces like the one I made which was me as a Lego figure and the one my brother was using as him when we played with Legos together. I also saved Starwars stuff for him and gave it to him so he'd have some Starwars stuff for his Starwars collection. right now I'm currently working on fixing battery corrosion on a light up light saber that sat in the garage. I am finding someone who'd want all 3 light sabers because my friend who collects that stuff doesn't want them.

@anita miller Any licenced locksmith company or safe specialist would have confidential direct access to the manufacturer, who would provide instructions to a known licenced company on how to open locked safes like those. It's an everyday occurance for them. I was puzzled by Alex' reference to KZbinrs and I began to wonder if that guy got his experience from watching video's on KZbin. The main thing though... No licenced locksmith opening a safe would ever allow you to watch or even be in the room while he was working. They never ever allow anyone to see or record how they do it. It's basic security and common sense.

The best way to get in the floor safe is to remove it from the floor with a rotary hammer drill and remove it from the floor and than you can go into from the side or bottom. The other way is since it has a manufacturer tag you may be able to contact the manufacturer and they may be on record of the numbers they need!

[@steelman86]

I removed a floor safe from an old jack in the box with a rotary hammer, used a large crow bar to get the safe out of the ground. Too thevsafe to my brother, a professional welder who cut a triangle out of the bottom side. After it was removed, I was able to take the nut off of the middle level lock, pushed the door aside and unscrewed the main combo lock back somI could spin the tumbler wheels until they lined up and opened the main safe door! My brother then placed the removed piece in place and methodically spot welded in several places to hold it in place. I then brought the safe home in the trailer where I ground the welds flat, used a filler for the cracks and leveled it with the rest of the metal and sanded smooth. Got some more filler and Did a texture on the entire safe so the cut out metal piece doesn't show!! Now it is painted dark green and is disguised as a base for a column!! Used the same technique for the large double door safe from the same place! Fortunately, the bottom door was locked in the open door position with an electric push button lock which was easily replaced for 40 bucks! Cut into the upper case and reached up inside to get the combo and the door opened just like we did with the floor safe! Now I have two great safes for valuables which are VERY SECURE, all for my labor and the cost of materials for repairs!

Your mention of Geraldo makes me laugh after all these years. I can remember watching that show barely holding my laughter from the start, because I knew exactly what he would find. I knew, and if he had done any homework at all, Geraldo should have known, that, while Capone went to jail, most of his mob did not. Under various leaders, it continued on for at least another forty years, and as far as I know, is still operating to this day. Capone had at least ten lucid years in prison before syphilis turned his brain to mush. During that time, he remained discreetly in touch with his gang through his lawyers. Anything of value in that house would have quietly removed. If it was of personal value to Capone, it would have been moved to his house in Florida. If it belonged to the mob, it would have been moved to his successor's house. (I think that was Legs Diamond, but I'm not sure.) If it was incriminating, it would have been burned or moved to safe storage at the bottom of Lake Superior. There was no possible way they would have left as much as a sandwich wrapper in that vault.

Was looking for this comment as I'm a former nurse n knew that was the handle for the otoscope heads and where the batteries would go. That was a top notch unit in its day, but ungodly heavy!! I've seen some nice, vintage medical collectibles over the yrs and that's one of the nicer ones I've seen as it's complete and not all pitted with rust. Some of the other vintage medical items he showed would've been great pieces that collectors of those types of things would love to have!! Even places like museums and hospitals looking to round out displays of old equipment would snap them up fairly quickly!!! 💰 Think he missed a opportunity there to make even more money! 💵🪙💵

@@countyseatadventures I agree. My former family doctor displayed antique instruments, and even quack devices in his office waiting room. Checking them out was a good distraction while waiting. He also had original and reproduction vintage ads of doctors extolling the virtues of various cigarette brands!

There was a well charger on The shelf for these as well. A desk top stand that the battery handle drops into.

Dude that military scrapbook is honestly cooler than anything that could've been in that safe, guaranteed. That's awesome

Hi from the Texas Panhandle!!! Enjoy your videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@macorourke2222]

Great video. Very exciting!! Thanks for sharing Brother Alexander 😀👍♥️🇨🇦🇺🇸💯💯

[@neilhamill318]

I think your kind gesture in not insisting the safe be totally opened helped in the locksmiths fee.

Those photos should be given to a museum

LOVED those red lamps n would be THRILLED to have found those!!! ❤❤❤ I may have drooled onto my cell seeing them!!🤤😅 That Grand Coulee pennant brought back some mighty good memories of my childhood when we'd go 'out west' for a cpl wks every summer...Wis to Wash, to visit family in Spokane n Latah and made many trips to Grand Coulee!! 🏔💦💙 But what a FABULOUS home and as someone who LOVES MCM, I would live there in a heartbeat!!! 💓🥰

The spring horse in the garage attic is a classic. They do not make them anymore.

You need to get the Lock Picking Lawyer for that floor safe. I mean there is no lock, but he probably knows a workaround.
