Question 1: Does anybody find it funny that the owner did not have or know the combination of the safe? Sounds like possible theft to me.
Question 2: How could you own a safe and not know what’s in it? I mean seriously. It’s not like someone passed away and their heirs would have sold it unless they’re complete idiots. They would have paid someone to cut it open too. If it was a safe left behind in a storage unit I would have thought the owner would have taken it with him unless he was a drug dealer and a piddly $26,000 wasn’t with much to him.
Strange overall.
He could have bought a storage locker, or bought it at an estate sale.
And there's the rub. Chances are the seller got it from an expired storage unit, or a yard sale, or from cleaning up an estate.
So, the $13,000 question is - Would the SELLER have felt any obligation to give the money back to the ORIGINAL owner in that case?
I doubt it. So, therefore, this guy can take a hike.
