The Sarah Winchester House in San Jose had a safe within a safe - I don't quite know how many. Given she was very rich - of the Winchester rifle fame, there was the expectation fo vas amounts of money or riches. But nside were three items - a lock of hair and obituaries of her husband and daughter. What are the things that are found in safes?
The articles repeat over and over these very creepy stories of people who have locked themselves in gun safes for some reason and are no longer living. And then they like to repeat the story of the family who were visiting Niagara Falls and the older boy locked the younger child in the safe. The child was fine - however, I expect the family is traumatized given that story is repeated over and over again.
On a more intriguing note is the Baptist Seminary where Mozart Manuscripts were found in an old safe in the 1990s - the original donation was money for the seminary plus the manuscripts, and the manuscripts got forgotten.
There's an article on things you SHOULD NOT keep in a safety deposit box in a bank - the list includes cash, passports, original copy of your will, final letters of instruction, Power of Attorney, and so on. Access to contents is limited - think natural disasters, coronavirus, medical emergencies, and so on.
Experts say keep these documents in a fireproof home safe that's bolted to the floor.
I went looking in the archives for a picture of a box. Isn't this so intriguing? It comes from the Canada Blooms show in 2018. It isn't an art installation on its own. It is waiting for a floral design.
