i was doing a pm at a bank once, when a teller asked if i could open a old cash vault of theirs. When i asked her what the combo is she said she didn’t know it, but knew it just quit working one day. I told her to look around and find some combos that it could be, even if it doesn’t work, get them and ill try them. At the end of the day I asked her if she found any. she gave me one combo said that is it the day it quit working, but it doesn’t work.
Walked up to the vault and the dial ring was loose, i adjusted it straight up and down, ran the combo and it popped. inside was uncut sheets of $1 and $2, it was a promo the gov ran back in the 50s. they where supposed to sell for like 15 bucks over cost, i talked them into selling me $300 of the 2s. 🙂
we replaced an atm once, the guys where stripping it back at the office and found something like 600 bucks stuck behind a wiring harness.
not a vault, but i found 4 one hundred dollar bills in the bottom a banks commercial drawer once. bank remembered arguing with there cust about how they don’t have the money….. hate to have made that phone call.
last summer, i was working on a night drop, found a radio shack back stuck behind some anti-fishing fingers, the bank remembered this, and said they money was deducted from the shacks employee paycheck and they had almost fired the employee over it
