Read on to find out more about how to overcome the problems that can be faced when removing your old safe, along with the alternatives to safe disposal. Safes are usually extremely heavy, and can damage furnishings such as stairways and walls if they are not removed properly with specialist equipment such as stair climbers, cranes and trolleys. Smith said, "The two parties involved worked out their differences, and the coins were released to the individuals involved yesterday afternoon.There are many problems you can face when disposing of or relocating your old safe. Someone who was helping his family clear out the garage was given the safe to sell as scrap, but was supposed to return anything inside of value once he figured out a way to get it open.
He told the station the family's father had been saving them for decades, but had died recently. The scrap dealer and the family that originally owned the safe have remained anonymous, but Mike DeGuerin, an attorney for the family, told ABC News affiliate KTRK that the coins were returned to the family. "I don't have an exact number, but there was a substantial amount," he said. Smith declined to estimate the value of the coins. "We temporarily took custody of the coins on Monday," said Houston Police Department spokesperson Keese Smith. Molick then called the police and put a lock back on the safe the next day. The entire safe must've weighed at least 3,000 pounds." Molick estimates the safe to contain $2.5 million. "There were 50 Krugerrands in one pipe, and brand new, un-circulated silver dollars in ammo boxes. "I thought, 'Oh, this ain't real,'" Molick said. Finally, after drilling 10 holes through six-inch walls of concrete, he discovered a bonanza.
Molick said he spent more than 20 hours trying to open the safe last week. Looked like somebody had tried forcing their way into it since the front was beat up." "He showed me a picture of this safe, and I saw that it was a high security one," Molick said. The man who opened the safe was David Molick, owner of Robbie's Key & Lock shop who told ABC News that the scrap collector asked him to break into the safe before it was turned into scrap about a month ago. A Houston scrap collector hauled an old safe from a family's home, but when the vault was pried open he discovered it held a fortune in gold coins and silver dollars.
