Safe.

[sister_luck]

Hands off! That's what the sign says on top of the huge crate standing on the pavement in front of the house two doors down. Something big and rectangular is wrapped in clear plastic. On closer inspection it turns out to be a safe on a wooden pallet. A very big and - I assume - heavy safe like you see on television being cracked open by the heroes or baddies depending on the story-line. The address sticker is for our street, so it didn't fall off a lorry.

I wonder what someone living in an unassuming if a little run-down house of flats needs a big office safe for? Is this person a little paranoid? A drug dealer? A collector of valuable porcelain dolls or watches?
