safecracker's worst nightmare
The owner of a north Colorado Springs antiques marketplace opening later this month caused a scare recently when he called police and asked what he should do with the nitroglycerin in an old safe!
It turned out the liquid wasn't an explosive, just a safecracker's worst nightmare.
Mike Underwood, owner of Willowstone Antiques, had bought the safe years ago and planned to display it in his new business.
A locksmith found the liquid-filled glass cylinders mounted to a cast-iron frame attached to the inside of the safe's door when he rekeyed the tumblers and told Underwood it could be nitroglycerin!
