In the old days with coin gas meters thieves (or desperate residents) would smash the lock and take the cashbox. Possible hidden evidence?

When we first moved into our house we found, carefully hidden behind the water tank in the loft, a packet of 5 Woodbines and a 1950s "Glamour" magazine.

I've given up smoking, but do you still have the magazine ?

We threw it out as it was - ahem - well thumbed.

It's about the size and shape of an old telephone kiosk cash box, the original lock has been broken or burn out. Looks like one of the previous tenants was a bit dodgy and buried the evidence, you might find some more.

We found a 3-litre bottle of St Erlin Blonde Belgian beer buried in our garden. We opened it at a Christmas party, and it was not really drinkable. Now it functions as a garden ashtray.
