If you are in no rush, explain to some kid what has been previously outlined as far as possible sequencing and offer them some reward, and maybe aq pizza for him/her and two friends, and let them go at it.Īnd have you looked in the Yellow Pages to see if there is a Mosler dealer near you? Sometimes dealerships like to give a new employee a challenge. They, of course, reutilized the safe somewhere. The warehouse chief got permission to give me all the change, and a day off. Inside were old birth and death records, some payrollo sheets, photographs from the 1938~1946 period, and a small change box with about $20 in coins from back then. I did this by "feel" and also had an old stethoscopes taped on the door near the dial.

Eventually, after several weeks (total of 30 hours, maybe?) I got it open. So during my lunch period, while stuffing my face with PB&J, I'd twiddle the dial.

I asked the warehouse chief about it and she told me no one knew the combination but as soon as they had something else large to dispose of, to the scrappers it would go. I was assigned to the supply department and in the corner of the warehouse was this tall, double-door safe awaiting disposal with real fancy paint and scrolls. He said the relockers were an option and bankers were not in the habit of spending money on stuff that didn't show, most would not pay extra for the relockers the first time.īack when I was a kid I got a summer job at the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital, Jamacia Plain, near Boston. All a thief had to do was wack the dail 3 or 4 times with a 20# sledgehammer and drive the dial flush with the door and then just flip the lever to open it. As far as being secure, he said they were a joke unless they had relockers. He said they would be lucky to get an hours protection in a fire. Seems as the concrete looses it moisture over time and it's ability to protect the contents from heat was the generation of steam to disipate the heat. Said those safes are not too secure and not fire proof any more. A week later he brought it back, hole welded, repainted with a new combination. He then loose strapped the door and jacked it up and secured it and then laid it in the back of his truck. He then got an appliance dolly from his truck that had a car jack mounted on it. Took a protractor and marked it at about 30 degrees from the 12 o-clock position, penciled a line from the center, measured from the center out, drilled a 3/8" hole, inserted a borescope and spun the dial back and forth and had it open in 15 minutes. Called an old locksmith in town, he came over. Had one exactly like that, with no combination.
