Divorcee Seeks Safe Cracker on Parole

 

Seeking a pro to open an heirloom Diebold wall safe belonging to former in-laws. Concrete and steel. Combo unknown. No drills. Work by feel, old-school safe manipulation preferred. Straight commission offered. Contents a mystery. Percentage negotiable. Must be a fast-working night owl, willing to work in a tight window between 1:30 and 2:00 a.m. Experience with deadbolts a plus. Guard dog whisperer? (They’re pussycats really). The job is practically yours. Wear black.
