Anyone lose a safe?

[AOTAC]

This is liable to make at least one guy here sick but here it is. Anyone missing a safe?

"Someone dumped a 5ft tall gun safe in our parking lot. It's pretty heavy. There's some drywall-like material inside the metal so I don't know how that would affect the scrapping value. But there's still a lot of steel in this thing. Text for the pick up location."

Maybe someone from the business has a drop date. Anyone in the surrounding neighborhood have cameras? Nevermind... I've just been informed that crime is no longer illegal in PDX.

What a fool.
Can't he deduct that a crime was committed and he should call the cops.
Instead he's trying to call a scrapper.

I suspect this may be the perp...

So his parking lot is a designated "safe space"?

Whoever's safe that is can probably be identified by DNA evidence in the mattress and box spring in the adjacent dumpster.

This looks more like unwanted stuff being dumped, than a stolen empty safe.

My opinion.

Hinges look torched or ground off, though I don't know of many models with exposed hinges anymore.

Metro Metals scrap yard won't accept safes, because vintage safes might contain asbestos, so they banned bringing any safe into the yard.

Both of mine have the hinges outside and all of them I have ever seen are like that. Cutting the hinges does nothing other than waste time if someone is trying to get in the safe.

Well?

Is it still there?

 

[Certaindeaf]

Looks like a run over barrel.

Looks like an older model Steelwater Safe.
And it looks like they may not have gotten into it.
At least not through the door.

Could well be. One of mine is a Steelwater. They are China made and have many different names stamped on the outside. If some moron was trying to break in they wasted a lot of time working on the hinges. The time it takes to work those you could just get into it from side or back. Especially since even removing the hinges would do nothing to get it open. Thankfully a lot of the thieving scum are brain dead stupid though.

Can ya throw a strap around it ,drag it out, flip it over and see if they got into the back side? If they didnt, i bet the owner would love to get it back.

Looks like the ad is down now. I had hoped more eyes on it may have helped find the owner.

I noticed that the ad was taken down right away.
Someone may have messaged him and told him to stop looking for a scrapper and call the cops.

I am starting to have doubts that my cable locks are impenetrable.

 

[jbett98]

The ad stated that there was sheet rock material inside of it, so I would assume the thieves gained access.

Sheetrock is pretty expensive these days..

 

[DirectDrive]

Chinese sheetrock......mmmmm.
The crooks probably got a nice dose of asbestos when they were cutting through that.
Maybe they can open a Worker's Compensation Claim ?
