Plumbers fixing pipes in a 1940s British house stumbled upon a locked safe under Josh and Emily Brooks’ floorboards, prompting “What do plumbers do if they find a safe?” and “How old are hidden safes?” queries. The plumbers’ shock was evident: “Twenty years I’ve been doing this and I’ve never seen that before,” one exclaimed, as TikTok watched a hammer duel with history.

After the plumber’s disbelief, Josh Brooks drilled into the safe, feeding in a camera only to glimpse a bead-shaped object and a meticulously folded newspaper dated October 22, 1977—cue trending searches like “How to open an old safe” and “What’s the weirdest thing found during renovations?” The scene: two plumbers, a screwdriver, and a six-hour siege against stubborn metal, prioritizing the mystery over plumbing pipes; “I don’t care about anything else now,” declared the plumber, hammer raised.

When the safe finally yielded, its only treasures were a 1977 headline and a bead—leaving plumbers and homeowners pondering if the true secret was just how long it takes to open a safe with a hammer.
