PITTSBURGH (UPI) -- Pittsburgh officials said nothing but old office
records and supplies were found in a giant 108-year-old safe pried
open at a city office Wednesday.
The 10-ton manganese-steel alloy safe, which has been at the Allegheny
County Controller's Office, turned out to be full of pencils, office
records, stationary and notes, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
"I didn't think there would be anything of value. Historically, it's
about what we expected," Controller Mark P. Flaherty said.
Diebold Inc. workers said it took them about 45 minutes to get the old
safe to pop open for the first time in at least 35 years.
County officials are preparing to inspect the items to decide what may
be given to the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania, the
newspaper said.
Officials say the safe may be sold online, given to the historical
society, or divided into pieces and sold as scraps.
