Welcome to /r/WhatsInThisThing!
This subreddit was ORIGINALLY created to track the progress of breaking into this vault on r/pics, and it got off to a MASSIVE start!
ABOUT:
This subreddit is a place for anyone who has acquired a safe, piggy bank, briefcase, treasure chest, oak barrel, thumb drive, bottle, locker, storage unit, abandoned home, bomb shelter, antique can, maybe even a confidential file to post pictures of the adventure of finding out what's inside it. If you come across a safe or mystery box, it can be dangerous to open it. Make sure you know what you're doing.

Mystery Box - Any item that is a safe, piggy bank, briefcase, treasure chest, oak barrel, thumb drive, bottle, locker, storage unit, abandoned home, bomb shelter, antique can, a confidential file, or anything of that sort
Locked - Anything that has not been unlocked yet; anything we don't know the contents of.
Unlocked - A solved mystery; OP delivers and we find out what was inside!
RULES:

My parents' safe
My parents have an old safe that they need some documents out of and they can't get it opened.
Good news: they told me the combination 16 years ago and I emailed it to myself.
Bad news: the combination doesn't seem to work anymore.
I've tried the numbers they told me in all the different combinations possible. Now it's time to go ham on it. I've called over friends with what I hope is appropriate weaponry.
I'm planning on reporting back once it's opened. I'm also open to suggestions on how to get it open. I've read that these safes can be rocked open and that's my first option.
Wish me luck.

Strange Closet In A Hotel Room
This closet was in our room in the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. There was a lock on the door but it was unlocked. There is what looks like an appliance plug but there was no plumbing.

Searching for Secret Drawer
I am looking for help with this family desk. My aunts are trying to locate a secret drawer that their father showed them 20+ years ago.
The desk came to the states when family immigrated from Germany around 1840. We have taken drawers out and inspected with flashlights and are at a bit of a loss. Any help would be appreciated if you might know what we should look for. We do suspect it is a serious of steps.

Help opening small old embedded wall safe
Found in old family home, it belongs to us. Given state of home, expecting it to be empty or trash inside, but curiosity must be satisfied.
The branding on the front is a bit damaged, but it looks something like mono laseer T4. It may be a old technomax safe., late 90s
It is a key entry only small wall safe, and it is cemented into place. Removing it will take a bit of work, but about possible with powertools.
What are our options to open? I am not a lock picker. In terms of detructive methods, would drilling out the keyway suffice or what would be the best approach. any guidance appreciated.

It's a makeshift landfill. Lots of trash and a Town and Country van still stuck in the ground.

I forgot the code to my samsonite briefcase. This is how my breifcase looks last time I opened it. Can someone figure out the code I used?

I just want to say thank you /u/dontstopmesmee. You should not have been vilified for not opening a safe fast enough. A moment of silence please.
I just want to pay some homage to a guy who went thru a lot.

Fourth time is a charm!
Actually, it plopped right open with a pry bar, but we still threw it off the roof for fun!
