Find someone else to do it in return for 10 per cent of the proceeds.
I would have asked the rat guy to grab it for me … made some comment like My nephew wondered where it had gotten to …
Yeah, right.
You have all us dying to know what’s in it, and c’mon… you know you wanna see for yourself 
Do it!
Do it!
Do it!
I’d volunteer to do it, bit I’m too fat and live live a long way away:(
Even if this turns out to be an Al Capone’s safe situation, that piggy bank needs to be retrieved.
He’s sure it was a piggy bank and not a bacon grease can?
I would imagine the lack of rats would preclude this.
But we have no idea how long it’s been there. The rats may have come and gone. At least one is still in evidence, possibly the victim of artery-clogging pig drippings.
I wonder if we’ll see a thread next week, something on the order of “How many years is bacon grease good for if roving rats haven’t compromised the container’s integrity?”
I suppose that’s better than: “How would one return an escaped demon to its container without it feasting on one’s soul. Need answer fast!!!”
I’ll do it for an all-expenses paid trip to Australia!
Offer the rat guy 20 bucks or 10%, whichever is higher, and give him the 20 bucks as he goes under the house.
You could hire a niffler. If there’s anything shiny, it’ll bring it right to you. If not, it wasn’t worth the dig in the first place.
GO FOR IT!
Please please please for the love of Og do it!
The curiousity is going to kill me.
Promise you’ll push it out with your back?
What the hell??
“There’s buried treasure under my house!!! yaaaawn well, gotta go to bed”
Get out of bed and go get the treasure, take pictures of the whole retrieval, post them on here with detailed description of everything.
Do it now!
I second(or third) this.
Please go get it and report back to us what you find.
I’ll bowl it right on outta there. 
Snakes? Why did it have to be snakes?
Hey, somebody had to say it.
Seriously, it seems obvious that someone removed a board in order to hide something, then covered it with aluminum and a fridge.
Although it would be more intriguing if it was some kind of lock-box rather than a pink piggy bank.
What if it has a safe deposit box key in it?
Or maybe some kind of cursed ring or Egyptian scarab or something! :eek:
Well, me, I’d wait to give him the 20 until he comes back out. I mean, not that I’m planning on sending him to a nightmarish agonizing death or anything, but, you know, no point in being out the 20, just in case…
Look at it this way…if it’s really cold, the dugites will probably be pretty lethargic. The downside, of course, is that they may be too lethargic to get out of your way, in which case you’ll have to shove them aside. Still, 'tis better to tangle with a lethargic dugite than a lively one…Also a large alcohol intake is said to act as an antidote to snake venom. (At least that’s the recieved wisdom where I live, I dunno Australian snakes may be different). Also, research has shown that Scottish serial murderers hardly ever hide under houses.
Anyhoo, since I’m shouting instructions from a safe distance, my advice is drink the beer, apply coveralls, boots, gloves etc, grab a light and go for it.
Ya gots ta do it 'cause it’s there!
