Should I buy it?

Found this locked floor safe in my house. Any ideas on the best way to open. I can't seem to find a manufacturer or model.

Can not post on r/lockpicking as they keep removing my post due to the lock being “in use”

I inherited this antique chest from my father and I’m looking to find what’s inside. Any advice would be appreciated

(Local locksmiths quoted me at $100 and that is out of my price range so I’m trying to do it myself)

Hey, found this on the basement of the new house, seller said that it was already there when he bought the house and he had no keys.

Google says it's a rottner homestar 4 db

I like watching lockpicking lawyer on YouTube and have a basic set of lockpicks for fun, you think is there a chance a could pick it or should I just crowbar it? I hear a small clinking inside, prolly a key something else metallic..

What do you guys think?

Okay, maybe I’m 5 years too late according to my dads post, but better late than never i guess🤷‍♂️. 5 years ago in 2019, I dug up a time capsule in my garden that my dad buried there when I was just born and we moved to our new house. I don’t all the details , cause It was a few years ago and I was pretty young. I believe it was my 10th birthday when my dad organized a scavenger hunt in my house where I found clues that would eventually lead to the time capsule. It was my dad’s idea to give me a metal detector for my birthday that I could use to find the time capsule but since i was never really interested in that subject I didn’t got it. Anyways, I don’t really remember much like I said but after some time me and my dad were digging a hole in the garden. I remember being a little disappointed back then that I did all that work for a box with my baby socks and some other stuff. I hoped it would be a Lego set or something. The box contained like I said my baby socks, a USB with fotos of me, a birthday card, some old coins, letters, a fossil and a stuffed baby toy. I forgot about tbh until my dad brought it up recently. And now I think about it was a fucking awesome present.

Video of me cutting the bucket : https://youtu.be/DQQy1OzO3HY

Alright gang, we did it. As it turns out the placement of the bucket was directly below the air ducts. We discovered this while trying to clean them. We were shoving an old shirt through with pvc pipe to loosen the dust and it turned up missing. Inspecting down the register hole with a phone camera showed a nice circular shaped pit in the bottom of the duct... It was the bucket. For some unholy reason this guy decided to cut a bucket shaped hole in the air duct from underneath the trailer, then caulk a bucket back into the bucket shaped hole...

Anyway I got under there to finally solve the mystery. At this point we weren't expecting anything. I did find out however that it was just a menards bucket *lid* screwed and caulked into a tubular piece of sheet metal that only *appeared* to look like a bucket... so I pulled the plastic lid off and attached a new duct metal cap in its place, but not before recording a video of me

Just moved into a new place in italy and found this old safe box while cleaning.. no keys, no serial number just got this thing in my wall, any advice on how to try to open it before i pry it open?

Ok so, me and my partner just bought our first home... a very old mobile home from the 60's in need of some serious TLC. Nothing I can't handle, i've renovated mobile homes of this age before. Someone tried flipping this allready... they obviously ran out of money and were totally loopy on drugs because the more I analyzed the repairs the more insane they became. This guy had a hard on for silicone caulk and probably spent like 2 grand spreading it all over everything including sealing the second door shut with it and covering the door handle with caulk.

This leads us to the bucket. There was a gap in the new flooring with a rug covering it... silicone caulked (of course) to the subfloor. I was checking under the trailer last night and to my amusement found a 5 gallon green menards bucket sticking straight through the bottom of the floor where that gap is... like some sort of redneck stalactite... (of course its also covered in copious amounts of silicone caulk). The floor is solid around the hole, its not like he was half-assedly patching a rotten spot...he just cut a bucket shaped hole in the floor and stuck a bucket in it. What would compel this guy to such a thing? Given his apparent drug addiction and mental state we have a few theories:

1. Poop. He also put a new toilet in, caulked the whole thing, but never turned the water on so there's just fossilized feces in it. maybe in his infinite wisdom he cut out a hole for a poop bucket in the floor
2. a large bounty of illicit white powder... if this thread gets deleted you know that's probably what was in it lol
3. Body parts? crime scene evidence?
4. A stash of money? (weirdly enough when we moved in there was a 50 dollar bill just sitting in the window... we didnt take it till we actually bought the place though. (also consider the door had been kicked in so anyone can come and go as they please... I'm fixing the jamb and replacing the locks on thursday though).

it only took like 30 minutes after the discovery of the bucket for me to recall the Justin Whang videos about reddits secret hard drive and mystery vault events. This one will be much easier to solve though.
