Imagine you're doing some home DIY, you knock through a wall, discover a safe and inside find $50,000 and a treasure hunt.
想象一下,你正在自己动手整修住宅,敲穿一处墙壁后,发现了一个保险箱,里面有5万美元和一个寻宝游戏。
It's almost too fun to be true, but it happened to a couple in
Phoenix1, US.
Posted on imgur, a woman has described an incredible tale of finding a series of clues inside a decades-old safe.
She and her partner were
demolishing2 their kitchen when they found the safe.
They remembered that when they moved in they found a safe code in the back of a medicine cabinet and after half a dozen attempts the safe opened.
And inside? Just $51,080, mostly in $100 notes and a bottle of bourbon dated 1960.
She writes: ""We stared in disbelief.
"Time stood still.
laughing at that one."
But also inside was a book, entitled 'A Guide for the
Perplexed3 by E.F. Schumacher' published in 1977.
And inside that was a black and white photo of a mystery man and written on the back is the message: "Alan, I have a book you must read.
"I've underlined a few key passages.
"Your friend, Vincent."
