“All safe companies maintain a data base of combinations that links up to the safes serial number.
That way if someone looses or forgets their combination they can recover it. Its also handy if someone dies and did not pass on the combination.
It takes a written, notarized letter establishing ownership along with about $100.00.”
I wondered if that were the case, but is that known to the safe owner? Is there a way to override that access if you wanted no one to know the combination? Either way this was out of line for Liberty to do. Giving any access to the FBI today is tantamount to handing it to a blood thirsty murderer.
I don't know, I found this information out when I bought a house that unbeknownst to me contained a floor safe. Its was a foreclosure so the pervious owners were long gone along with the combo.
I did some research and uncovered the process to get the combo from the manufacture. In the end I decided not to pay the $100 bucks because with my luck I's probably empty.
