My parents buy their big “this is our last house” home. It was owned for couple decades by a concert promoter/Texas Mafia dude. Very well known. They found a floor safe under a stack of bricks in the garage. Got a locksmith. Easy peasy - he’s in. They then called police (sadly they didn’t call me). Found about $200k in cash and quite a bit of coke in one giant zip-lock bag. The previous homeowner died - that’s why the family had the home for sale. So, Police can’t ask him what’s going on. Police ended up taking it all. Several years later the deceased guy family contacts parents and say “we finally got the cash back from the court, but please take half.” They did. Didn’t get half the coke though. Probably best.

I'll be the first to state the usual:
OP, don't leave us hanging. Regardless of time, let us know what you find.

Hire a lock smith to crack so you can still use as is. Don’t ruin it. My opinion. I’d love to have a functional safe like that.
