I was walking past a door where I work and heard part of [this](http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/shows_wct/episode/0,,hgtv_3903_45981,00.html) episode of the show. Right up to the commercial break before they opened the safe. Then I was called to do something… I need closure on this story. What was in the safe? ---

My apologies, **Samclem** , I thought this would fall more under a direct question about a show rather than discussion about a show. I’ll make sure to post any similar question in this forum. ---

I was going to say old money and a ring, but that was a completely different episode. I don’t think I’ve seen the one in NY yet. ---

Wait, there was more than one randomly found safe? I just googled around until I found that link… How many randomly found safe episodes are there? Do they place the randomly found safe? (I mean, Christ… How many old houses have randomly found safes perfect for commercial break tension are there?) ---

[/QUOTE] The episode I saw was an old bank that was converted into a house. The house came with safe deposit boxes in a known safe. There are houses with hidden storage and hidden rooms and stashes of crap found behind walls. The last episode I saw, a couple found $2800 in a bag hanging from the rafters in the attic. ---

My parents bought a turn of the century home when I was a kid and there was a big bank safe in the basement. My parents used to lock our Christmas presents in there. The next house they bought had a hidden fur vault in the back of one closet. StG
