Girlfriend's mom: Oh, Alice, while you're here, I have this lockbox that I don't have a key for.

Me: Grab it!

Girlfriend's mom: It's not really urg—

Me: —It's open.

Girlfriend's mom: Wow.

Girlfriend's mom: ...darn, it's not full of cash.

For some people there's a difference between a lockbox and a storage container, and then there's @alice

@alice i bought a payphone from an antiques expo today, and i know my way around one and picking this one up it was heavier than it should have been. I turned it upside down (after purchase, away from the seller) and heard a fair number of coins sloshing around in it.

This was almost a lockpicking reply but I do not have the chops (nor do I know anyone who does) who can pick the lock. the pins ROTATE to set. It’ll get drilled out and replaced, sadly.

@alice Girlfriend's mom eyes Alice suspiciously.

Thought bubble: Perhaps she cleaned it out already?
