That may be one of the best ways...make that was one of the best ways to hide a safe I'd seen. Now you've let the secret out of the bag.
Wow! I agree with Cindy - best ways to hide a safe. Seriously, what was the point here of even having the safe??
This sounds like a good idea to me. Usually it is the master bedroom closet, but so typical.
Hard to forget where's the safe, it always returns to the same place.
I guess you blew the cover off that one! I wouldn't have thought. Interestingly enough, someone told me that some people involved in illegal activity often hide things in air returns (money, etc.).
Charles -- That's pretty cool. Never heard of that. But what's with leaving the key?
Charlie, You just never know what you will find in those darn returns. That is better than some of the other crud I find.
Interesting! So was there any money in that safe?
Nice find Charles. I was remodeling a West Seattle house a few years back and we found a kids goodie box in a wall - not the crown jewels, but it was kinda cool to see the magazines and stuff - from the 50's...
Anonymous, that is pretty cool!
Jennifer, for sure---hiding in plain sight
John, and that expectation is what makes this spot so good I guess
Rob, yes---they are usually just doing the job they were intended to do
Carla, lots of repairs will be necessary if it does not convey---so I would vote that it is a permanent fixture.
Ira, most would not I think
Kate, and I will know where to look :)
Eric, and now that spot is out too---if we give away enough locations, they won't be able to check them all :)
Cindy, I know---time to get creative and come up with a different "cover" :)
Gina, lots of people have them---I have installed quite a few for people---just trying to make it difficult for people. Burglars don't like to mess with something that is going to make a lot of noise to get into.
Sandy, that does seem like a common place
Jim, yup :)
Carla, I mostly find certain magazines and toys in ductwork---maybe a few coins but never the real thing
Barbara, my only thought was that the sellers were leaving it for the buyers.
Don, it was kind of fun---lightened up the inspection for a few minutes
Dale, those cans of soup are too easy to cart away
Erica, it was quite empty---thankfully.
Terkel, it is always fun to find those blasts from the past
Charles, as a home inspector, I am sure you come across many 'surprises'. Some are unsafe and some are....'safe'!
Very Interesting Charles, good job spotting that.
Charles, now that was not the post I thought I was going to read here!
Charles,
At least that would not harm anyone, I bet you have seen some really dangerous stuff in your time...

Praful, I had another great one yesterday I can't wait to post about :)
David, thanks
Pat, I thought maybe it would work like that :)
Brent, for sure
It is amazing what you find on some inspections. Every time I think I have seen it all, I find out that I have not.
Robert that is sure true and what makes our job so interesting at times
"UneVENTful" hahaha. I wonder if the current owner knew it was there?
Eric, I can only assume so since they built the house :)
