lc2370

An odd find in the woods.

Wonder how it came to be there.

What do you think its story is?

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky. Don’t forget to visit each other. :)

Great photos. Isn’t it neat to discover old items slowly returning to the land!

Wonderful photos … I wonder what was hidden inside! It reminds me of the scene in “A Fish Called Wanda” where he opens the safe and yells, “Disappointed!!!”
Happy Macro Monday … and tell Dennis I’m sending good internet vibes to him.

Maybe DB Cooper dropped it? Maybe you should call Geraldo!

Don’t know how far in the woods you were; but it’s an awfully big piece for someone to cart there just to dispose of it.
Maybe hobo territory at one time. :)

Love the macros!
Prayers for both you and Dennis.

Interesting to see that it has wheels on the bottom. Makes an easier getaway:)

Oh my, this is exciting and at the same time it could be very puzzling. A million stories come to mind!

Maybe the safe was stolen and got ditched out in the woods. Great set of photos… very interesting subject.

I just did my first Macro Monday today. Let me know what you think!

I say it had something to do with Dillenger, that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

The safe was lifted (with great difficulty) by the Bumbling Burglar Brothers. They grunted, pushed, pulled, wrestled the safe out of the big house and finally got it into the bed of their pickup truck. They drove deep into the woods to crack their prize. Took hours. Check around for nasty old empty beer cans. The brothers (and their cousins) drank an entire case before they abandoned the empty safe. The beer helped ease the pain — there was nothing in the safe.

I agree it was probably stolen. I would report it to the police it may solve a cold case mystery. Heck, there may even be a reward.

Great find though. My sister has one just like it that has been handed down for generations in her husbands family.

There is something still in this safe. Someone has tried to pry it open unsuccessfully. We pushed it over once and heard the contents rattle a bit. Makes me want to go back with some tools!

Sara Chapman in Seattle, USA said,

Years ago in New York City my parents had a break-in. My stepfather fixed watches at home and had a hidden safe in the wall. The burglars took our own tools from the garage and removed the safe and carted it away. I do believe the safe was found later, empty of course. I was a teenager, and let me tell you, it was traumatic, as they stole my jewelry, such as it was, and other precious things.

I would say to notify the police. You never know when you might be instrumental in closing an old, cold case.

Geez, Louise. I knew I dropped that somewhere. No wonder I can’t seem to balance the check book! I’ll be over to get it later, Lisa!

Great shots.

Someone stole it, couldn’t break into it, and dumped it. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it!

Wow, what a find in the woods. I wonder if someone didn’t steal it and then run to the woods to try and crack it open in hiding. lol!

Too bad it was already open, it would have been so much more intriging if it were closed & you had to wonder what it held!
Great shots:)
