Vault Watch: Work Suspended as Railway Gets Involved

Officials inspect the vault on Nov. 23, 2015.

NAKHON SI THAMMARAT — A bid to crack a century-old vault is on hold after railway officials ordered it halted so they could get in on the action.

Officials in Nakhon Si Thammarat’s Thung Song district had just announced a master locksmith would use his talents to open the concrete safe room beneath a 108-year-old building when the State Railway of Thailand, which owns the site, put an end to their quest, said the district mayor.

“They told us to suspend the effort yesterday,” Songchai Wongwatcharadumrong said Friday. “We were told to wait until senior officials at the state railway have a meeting to discuss what to do and inspect the scene first.”

The agency has not said when the meeting or the visit will take place, Songchai said over the telephone today.

Anyone remember the fiasco that was the opening of Al Capone's long lost vault in Chicago

It launched Geraldo Rivera's reporting career despite the embarrassment of being a two hour long special culminating in a dramatic shot of an empty vault

To the guy dressed as a soldier near the door....................'Look up and to your right. Do you see those 3 holes? Put a telescopic camera with a light through the hole. Have a look around inside the vault."

Unbelievable how they make an easy task sound impossible !
