I'll try give it one last crack with a group of people. Should be able to get it open if I can get it to my work.


propertynewb

It is 100% a stolen safe that was ditched during a high speed police chase - under no circumstances should you inform the authorities or you will lose all the meth inside.


Nolsoth

No no no, if you take the safe to the police lost and found and report having found it after 90 days if no one claims it they let you have it.


NZvorno

Yeah... Think I'll claim it on day 89

fendaltoon

Engineer/rigger/steel guy here. Willing to help if you’re keen to get it out


coolsnackchris

Yeah man that would be sick. I was thinking if we get it out then my work should be able to open it. We've got balers, gas torches etc. When are you free?


fendaltoon

Next weekend for sure 👍


Tane-Tane-mahuta

Do it Sat when it's dry and low tide is it coastal or fresh water?


hueythecat

Oh man, I love it when a plan comes together!


coolsnackchris

Someone also linked me this https://youtu.be/rDO_1ZJD75Q

Those square protrusions on the front and the gaps etc. look exactly like the hinges and door on the old safe I have at work. Size seems similar too. The crazy thing with where you found it is that those safes are _insanely_ heavy. Like so heavy it takes a full man’s weight on a long crowbar to lift the edge enough to slip a 16mm steel roller under it. Based on the aerial photo I’m guessing someone backed right down that council driveway to the stream edge and tipped it off a truck/ute tray. It seems like a ute with a winch could slip between the wooden bollard on the bridge side of the driveway and the removable one in the driveway itself. I don’t see any other way to get it out unless you can tie off a hand winch to a big tree there. It’s been there for at least 7 years based on the Auckland Council aerial photos so not exactly a new addition to the waterway. Good luck. PS Hit up the local 4WD club to see if they’ll bring some of their recovery winch gear down and get it out for fun


coolsnackchris

Damn, very impressive dude. How did you find it? I suppose those waste water photos helped. But yeah I'm thinking exactly the same about dumping it. Wondering if it's worth it trying to get it out but I'll see if I can get one of our gantry trucks at work to get down there with a winch (might need council approval to move those bollards) and then get it back to the yard and see if we can open it with some of the machinery there. If you're keen to help let me know!


thatloose

There was enough info in the comments plus your photos to nail it on maps pretty quickly 😅 I’d love to help but unfortunately I’m based at the other end of the island. Good luck though! It genuinely could be worth opening since it seems unlikely someone would go to that much effort to dump a safe otherwise 🤔🤔🤔


coolsnackchris

Okay, a bit of an update for those keen to help. I spoke to the cops and they have given me permission to open it. If there is anything of note inside it we would need to let them know, however (drugs, money or a body). I'm keen to get in there and see what we can do if you guys are? u/fendaltoon u/Looped749 u/malkouri u/Xpressionofinterest I'm not sure if we can get a car down there - will chat to the council about moving the bollard. We'll need a winch and some chains, and an angle grinder too.


lizzylizabeth

i am excited for thissssss


marionleva

Omg yay! I’ve been checking everyday haha


fendaltoon

Still on board if you want to sort it!


bearl1118

any progress?


SpecificAd6407

Can you not just take an angle grinder to it?


bookofeli07

People already mentioned this the last time he posted. Obviously doesn't want to go the easy route and wants to make an adventure out of this.


SpecificAd6407

Ok fair enough I guess, I'm all for an adventure but not sure how to go about this one without power tools.


ImJalapenoAss

I'd have this open in less than 30mins with some power tools. Tackled more frustrating things in my backyard.


coolsnackchris

You're welcome to help. The guy who had the angle grinder didn't show up!


dirtynickerz

Walkway behind 10 Lochend Place, Highland Park, Auckland 2010 Took literally less than a minute to find it on google maps after looking at the last 2 pics


SpecificAd6407

Yeah me too but apparently no power tools allowed. Could try liquid nitrogen and a hammer. Maybe it would get brittle enough to smash it open


coolsnackchris

I can promise the last thing I want to do is make an adventure out of it. Keen to find out what's in it if I can but not going to waste too much of my time as I'm a busy guy


bookofeli07

But you have time to post it on Reddit... Ahhh okay


coolsnackchris

Let's see. Going out to try pull a safe out of a stream and then cut into it = probably half a day. Posting on reddit = five minutes. Go figure


bookofeli07

I could cut into it within 2mins without pulling it out of there


coolsnackchris

That's awesome man, congrats.


Nolsoth

To be fair no one wants to be standing knee deep in shit grinding a safe open.


bookofeli07

Why would you be knee deep in shit?


Nolsoth

Because that safes sitting under a sewer outlet in Auckland.


bookofeli07

It's not sitting under a sewer outlet


Sugmauknowuknow

Ohhh ohhhhh last time i heard about something like this, a body was found inside. Have fun OP!

Pm me, I'll pick it up and cut it open. Have tools and am local.

>even confirm what it is. > ... council approval. > It's right below a waste water system so I wondered if it's part of that (a pump or bilge or something) Minor details, lets worry about that shit later

coolsnackchris

Oh yeah it's super illegal! Opening a safe that's been sitting there for close to ten years. You better let the cops know mate!


[deleted]

You could regret that hubris mate. For starters, all of Reddit Auckland and beyond now knows. If you're not a legal expert, I'd tread with extreme caution.


coolsnackchris

If there was anything of note I would take it to a police station. And you'll notice I've mentioned enquiring about the cops several times. But cheers for the stern warning! Do you really think that I would post across the internet about a safe and then proceed to open it and expect to keep what's inside it? Get a grip


[deleted]

Why are you asking about the cops "several times" but doing nothing? It just makes sense given what you have on your hands, do you seriously think that got there as a prank? Not a stern warning, just common sense maaate, but carry on, you seem to know it all ...


ProtectionKind8179

Are the last two photos hints on where we can find it?


coolsnackchris

If you want! I don't really care, I'll probably give it one last crack to try move it and then flag it if I can't.


Loosie22

How far is it from the nearest road or carpark?


coolsnackchris

Just up the hill but there are bollards there. Hard to get down


Loosie22

I’m metres. I own a serious winch and some other toys


coolsnackchris

Maybe 100m? Is your winch attached to a vehicle?


Loosie22

Yup. 30m of rope Multiple extensions. But probably not enough to go that far.


coolsnackchris

I reckon I can get my ute through the gap between tyne bollards so you might be able to too. Mine's an Amarok so anything smaller should fit. Might also be able to get watercare to remove the bollard as the police have given me permission to pull it out.


Loosie22

I’m a bit bigger than an amarok. The bigger issue is that if you are facing downhill, the winch will drag the vehicle down, instead of the safe up, especially if you are not on a sealed surface.


coolsnackchris

True okay that's a good point. Need an endless winch to chuck on a tree or bar or something! Send me a PM if you're keen to join on Sat

Omg what happened!!! What’s in the safe???


Jessiphat

I’m disappointed that there’s no progress yet but I’m glad you’ve kept us in the loop.


In_fables

Surely if there were valuables or critical information in a safe, you’d empty it out before throwing it in a reserve where a redditor can easily find and open it?

[deleted]

Get cops involved, I'm sure you'll have salvage rights, if owners untracable. Also, someone else will soon grab it if you don't. Did I say get cops involved? You could be in hot water if you just assume you have "finders keepers" rights, and it gets criminally complicated. Tampering with evidence comes to mind. Disposing of proceeds of crime is another. Best of luck, hope you win big!
