The Shocking Find
The Redditor was anxious as to what lay beneath, but he did not hesitate to bend over to remove the handle secured to the steel cover. Although he had initially believed that this would reveal rusty piping begging for a fix, he instead discovered something far more complex.
As it turned out, the wooden handle gave way to a safe dial! All the pieces were coming together in the repairer’s mind. This rug concealed a safe, one he hoped stored secret valuables! His rationality evaporated instantly as he remembered all those treasure hunting tales which his grandmother had told him. Of course, there was the issue of the combination to crack!
Seven Days Of Searching
As one could expect, EvilEnglish became obsessed with opening the safe. In a telling Reddit update he described how he span the wooden cover off the lock. It was now time to attempt all the possible combinations which came to mind.
“I spoke with my Mom, and she said that my grandparents had a safe in Florida, and the combination was my Dad’s birth date. She also recommended trying his Social Security Number as a back up to that. None of the combinations are proving successful.” EvilEnglish spent the next few days scouring through his grandparent’s possessions, searching for clues to the correct number sequence. The next seven days involved countless failed attempts. Finally realizing that he needed some expert help, he decided to contact a locksmith.
