A passerby found three large safes in a stream inside the Mönchbruch nature reserve — Hesse's second-largest protected area — in Mörfelden-Walldorf, Germany. Nearby lay a cash box, a suitcase, and a briefcase, all of them empty.

The safes are heavy, reinforced steel models, and the fire department in nearby Rüsselsheim needed a cable winch to pull them out of the water. As of this report, none of the three had been opened, so what, if anything, is inside remains unknown.

Police have not determined how long the safes had been sitting in the stream, or how they got there. They are investigating two possibilities — that they were dumped after a theft, or simply discarded as scrap metal — and are checking the case against reports of safe thefts and robberies in the surrounding region.
