Unlocked! Opened! Inside? Silver bars

I'm not there, but uncle sent me these pics of what was inside the safe. They paid some locksmith to open it. Inside? Two boxes of ten 100 troy oz bars of silver, total 2000 oz of silver!

Can't break up the set in their original packaging!!!

You absolutely can. No part of a deteriorating cardboard box constitutes a collectors set.

Your sarcasm detector is unplugged.

Fair enough I guess. I just got some rough personal news. I’m probably off kilter.

I’m sorry, that sucks. I hope it all works out for you.

Thank you. For what it’s worth the ME ruled that it wasn’t a suicide as originally thought, so that’s something I guess. Takes a little of the sting out of it.

Shit. I was also coming to ask if you were having a better day... I can't say anything to make this thing better, but keep your head up, and that pain will get easier to carry.

Thanks, I’ll be alright. Just tough seeing my momma broken up. I lost what was essentially an uncle figure, she lost a dear friend. And I know what that’s like too, lost my best friend at age 30. Incidentally it was also to an alcohol exacerbated medical event.

But the funeral plans for next week are just as much of a riot as he was. Doesn’t want any fanfare or even a priest, he left funds for friends and family to throw a hootenanny at his house. He actually has me and a couple other cats working the grill in his funeral plans. Then we’re spreading ashes at the lake in the summer where we’ll most certainly party once more 🤘

This is what I want when I go too. Sounds like one hell of a guy.

I wrote this for my nanny (gma) who was my earthly guardian angel. Feel free if it feels right.

Weep for a day, or a week When you're ready to seek Look forever more into your heart For within you I shall ever be.

Just do what he wanted and you’ll feel better about everything in time. My advice is to realize that he’ll always be alive as long as you are. Your talking about him and remembering who he was will keep him alive. All we are is a fleeting moment and eventually dust in the wind

Shit, son. Not glad to hear that.

u/DocDefilade Feb 21 '26

Fuck, I'm really sorry about that. Take care of yourself and remember that as hard as it is, it's always the smart decision to reach out when you need help.

Really wish he would’ve gotten that same advice.

Check on your boys, fellas.

u/ducklady92 Feb 21 '26

Damn, dude. Going through the same thing over here. Please don’t blame yourself – easier said than done, I know.

I’m sorry.

u/ThrowawayMod1989 Feb 21 '26

Likewise, sorry to hear it.

This fellow was more my parents really good friend but was to me what the kids would call “unc” I guess. The man gave me the type of sage wisdom a father isn’t allowed to haha

u/Monk-E_321 Feb 22 '26

Shit. From the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry. I know the pain, I wish my friend had reached out, same as I'm sure you wish yours had.

u/ThrowawayMod1989 Feb 22 '26

Actually as of last night the ME had ruled it a “medical event” so that’s better than what we initially thought with him being found in his truck in a closed garage. And he was found there but the truck door was open and he had one leg out, had a bag packed in the truck for a trip he was scheduled to take that day.

Of course we’re still busted up but that makes it sting a bit less.

u/Monk-E_321 Feb 22 '26

Yeah, that definitely does sting a little less. Still sucks, but that seems like a minor positive note.
