A couple accidentally found an old safe and decided to open it. It turned out to be difficult – they had to use tools. After they saw what was in the safe, they immediately called the police. Inside the safe were…
As a child, I often played treasure hunts with my friends. We hid “treasures” somewhere – usually it was a few coins or a bag of candy – and later went to look for them. Matthew and Maria Colonna-Emanuel from New York also found a “treasure”, but in the form of old safes.
Two of them. They discovered the safes several years ago, but thought it was an electrical box. However, one day, deciding to open them, the couple made an amazing discovery. Seeing the contents of the safe, they immediately called the police.
For several years, the couple thought that the safe they found was just an electrical box. But they were wrong. It all started with a fire: trees caught fire in their garden.
That’s when the couple paid attention to the safe. When a deer later approached the safe and started sniffing it, they realized that it was not an electrical box at all, but a real safe. One day they decided to open it. It turned out to be difficult – they had to use heavy tools. But the efforts were worth it: the find shocked them.
The safe belonged to a neighbor. Inside the safe, the couple found a note with an address. As it turned out, it was their neighbor’s address. Matthew went to him to find out if anything unusual had happened to him. The neighbor said that he had indeed been the victim of a robbery.
The robbery took place on Christmas 2011. The only thing stolen was a safe, the contents of which were estimated at approximately $52,000. Eight years later, the neighbor finally got his stolen jewelry back. Matthew admitted that he was shocked by this story.
The couple did not hesitate for a second to keep what they found for themselves, because it did not belong to them.
