Reddit user, EvilEnglish, hit the grandparent jackpot with his PopPop and Nana. Not only did his grandmother read himTreasure Island as a kid, sparking a lifelong desire to find a secret fortune of his own someday, she also inadvertently made his wish come true. His grandparents left him their farmhouse in Tennessee, and when he went to the house to clean it up, he noticed a very dirty carpet. He decided to get rid of it, and when he lifted the filthy adornment to throw it away, he made a once-in-a-lifetime discovery—a hidden safe!
He tried for days to crack the lock on the concrete safe himself with no avail. Finally, he called a locksmith, who broke it open. EvilEnglish said that his grandparents were avid collectors, so he knew the safe would be filled with interesting stuff, but he never imagined this!

Great story and I can't help thinking how big was that safe the opening looks out of proportion to the contents. Love time capsules
ReplyDeleteHello, I'm from the IRS...
ReplyDeleteIn this day and time and knowing the posture of our gov't, it simply amazes me that people cannot just keep finds like this to themselves and move along normally. Everyone should, by now, know that our gov't today is in the business of raping and pillaging particularly in cases of windfall good fortune. If the gov't does in fact steal a portion of this family's inheritance, they have only themselves to blame for announcing it.
