What i'm referring to is a subreddit created yesterday for this user who posted pictures of a vault his friend found after he bought a house that was previously a "Drug House". His username is "dont_stop_me_smee" and he created "/r/whatsinthisthing" to update redditors on him opening the safe. Since yesterday when it was created it already has 50k+ subscribers and I suspect it'll only increase as people start to learn about this. This thing is trending like crazy.

The original thread that caused this:

Yesss, this could totally use an event entry!

Daily Dot article

Great idea to make this. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to see if there's anything in the safe.

Alright, I added a basic summary and a link to the article. This is looking really interesting.

In 2013 Reddit user dont_stop_me_smee began posting images of a large safe that he discovered in a house that he had just moved into. The building had been a drug house before they moved in, which lead to extensive speculation as to what could be inside. The post was eventually spn off into a sub-reddit, which has accumulated over 60,000 followers. dont_stop_me_smee has said that he has hhired a locksmith to open the safe, and that he will be posting pictures of what he finds inside. The event has drawn comparisons to the live opening of Al Capone's vault in 1986, with speculation that the opening of this safe will have a similarily dissappointing result.

Also – here is a link to the entry that Amanda made.

thank you platus!!! good comparison to the Capone vault

edit: every time i see the title of this subreddit i think of this

Oh look, someone with the exact same name as me (but who totally isn't me at all) osted something in the sub-reddit. I wonder how that happened.

Well the only things I could make up is either

A money

B weed

C drugs

Or D all of the above

Thanks for listening to my idea!!!
