SCHENECTADY Large, old safe dumped illegally in Vale Park BY STEVEN COOK Gazette Reporter Reach Gazette reporter Steven Cook at 395-3122 or scook@dailygazette.net.
Anybody lose a safe recently in Vale Park? Or dump one there? Those were the obvious questions late Thursday afternoon as city officials found a large, oldlooking safe at the park off Nott Terrace. Before anyone asks the obvious third question — no, there was nothing in it. That was clear. It didn’t have a door, and there was nothing but rainwater inside. It was actually found around 4:30 p.m. by city Commissioner of General Services Carl Olsen as he was going through the park. It appeared as though somebody had just dumped it there, probably in recent days. He recalled going past a few days ago and not seeing it. Finding it Thursday, though, raised those questions. “Before I pulled it out of there, I reported it to police, just to see whether or not one was missing,” Olsen said. “It was kind of unusual. You don’t normally find an open safe with no door.” A police spokesman said the safe had no value as evidence in any crime. Police do not know where it came from but said it appears to have been in the elements awhile. Olsen said he was hopeful of identifying who dumped the safe there. That would be a first step in determining the history of the safe, which appeared to be fairly old. Even if the safe wasn’t fresh out of some heist movie, he said it still was dumped illegally. That’s not allowed and could result in a fi ne for whoever dumped it, Olsen said.
Has anyone asked Philip Morris yet? Oh wait, both Proctors and the Plex offices have been broken into within the last year or so...maybe Gillen needs to make an id as well.
Hurry up and get them! It might be the last remaining Plex dollars in there!! We need another bar Downtown!!

Where 's the national retailer? Fat Morris has been too busy writing his nitwit blog for the TU. Last post in February. The fact that is was empty means it could be any of these DEM fiscal incompetents. Call the Mayor!
Wonder if Olsen put the safe on his city owned personal vehicle and then brought it down to Predels and pocketed the scrap money....

Like the hard working DSIC employees? That bought tree grates on City time down to Predel's. Everywhere you look nepotism, corruption, self dealing aka DEM moron renaissance.
They should be required to use their own car or truck to transport the safe so as to reduce the number of auto accidents by municipal workers using government owned vehicles. Or, better, perhaps the salvage yard will pick up the safe at the cemetery.
