New York, USA —

A locked safe with a mysterious note attached was discovered in the middle of a farm-field in New York state. The note reads, “If you can open it, you can keep what is inside.”

The land where the safe was found is owned by Kirk Mathes. Mathes was out of town when people discovered the safe. Once word spread, deputies had to disperse a crowd intrigued by the odd safe.

The safe, made of metal, is estimated to weigh about 500 lbs. It has to be moved with heavy machinery but no one has figured out who put it there and when they did it.

Everyone wants to know what’s inside.

“They took a sledgehammer to it, knocked off the dial and handle, they worked on the hinges, kind of beat it up,” said Mathes.

“My personal feeling is, leave it as a mystery. If you open it, the show is over. In these times, with the virus and the politics, it might get people a chance to set their problems or troubles aside and have a lot of fun talking about it.”

Mathes is planning [perhaps by time of writing, done so] to hide the bizarre safe as soon as media left.
