What did it smell like? I think it almost smelled like feces and just something that was left to rot and hasn't been touched in a long time.

So it had to be 2013 or later. What's your theory about how the safe ended up in the river? I personally think it was more than likely a home robbery. And they got it out of the place. And maybe it was a, I assume, a group of people. And they were trying to get in the safe. They were trying to move as quickly as they can. They maybe shook it upside down, getting out whatever they could.

And they drove into either Corona Park or there was an expressway above. And maybe they just chucked it out because they thought they got everything. And they left money in there. They didn't realize it.

And so they couldn't tell exactly the amount, so they didn't want to count it as money. They counted it as paper, like found paper.

What did you think?

But even then, even after they said you can have it, we still didn't believe it. We thought they were eventually going to call us and be like, actually, bring it in. We did not believe that it was going to be ours at any point.

Yeah, but there's no way to prove it. There was no ID, no serial numbers on the safe, no way of identifying it.

Did you try to dry it out? We did open the bag. We showed our kids.

Yeah. It ran out of the room because the smell was just that bad. We did try to, like... touch it a little bit, but once it started to, once we would touch it, it started to flake and almost come off in pieces. We were like, okay, we're sealing the bag, we're not touching it again.
