What Was Behind the Wall?
When a Providence tenant discovered a hidden antique safe behind the bathroom wall of his 90-year-old apartment, curiosity took over.
NBC 10 News brought in Northeastern Security Safe and Lock Company to find out what was inside. The safe, dating back to the 1800s and built with a numbered and lettered dial, was designed to keep people out. Our locksmith team took on the challenge with care to preserve the safe and the home.
After more than four hours of careful work, the lock finally gave way. Inside were only empty drawers, with no hidden cash, gold, or even a letter.
It was not the ending anyone expected, but opening the safe revealed a piece of history and reminded everyone why Northeastern Security is trusted to protect valuables and solve mysteries across Rhode Island.
