... has anyone else noticed that the mysterious individual's email address is the same (more or less) as the characters on the note? I have no idea what this means, but it seems like a big thing to miss...

Looks like we have to wait for the box to be opened. Those boxes are just fire safes so it shouldn't be that hard to open.

I'd like to know more about that painting uncle Don has. (Perhaps uncle Don is the one sending the emails?)

Holy cow, emails. xDD

I never heard that rhyme before, and I'm american. o:

red white and blue...The painting in the background of the video is red white and blue like pointed out before, but did anyone notice the horseshoes are painted red and black?

Also, the painting, can anyone tell what is in the bottom right of it? It looks like numbers to me.


The box should be easy to break open. Hopefully he'll get around to it soon

That does look like a number. A date maybe?

The first looks like a 3. The others maybe 410 or 910, difficult to tell.

Consider that the contents might be fragile.

Doing some more starring at the first note. It seems like the A in watch is actually an arrow pointing at #30 Alberta. Given that this is on the right side, and in front of you it seems like a possible hint. I tried starting the cypher shifted by 30 which yielded Z6gOhnmhV0_(-). I think the 0 at the end of the cypher is _ or - since those are the only non-alphanumeric characters in the YouTube URL. Nothing though.

Then he uses a screwdriver the hinge is very flimsy plastic... and im stressing "very"...lol those lockboxes are made as fire safes not lockboxes... lol and as fire proof they are pretty good... just crappy lockboxes... The thing is basicly plastic filled with concrete and the hinge is soft plastic. and not filled with concrete.

These lock boxes also have a lost key recovery code stamped on the lock. Any locksmith can probably make you a replacement key. Once can even order them from the manufacturers website for $30.

Hi, I've been following this thread for a while and i decided to email C6D1b3D4c3c4b4c3b6D60. It's probably nothing, but i received 21 emails, all of them with message "B6C2C2B5A3B6C2C6A5C5". Only thing interesting about it is fact, that numbers are still not higher than 6, but for the first time in the cipher there is letter A.

Screenshots as a proof:

Also, have you noticed that number of emails people recive from that guy is decresing? First it was 31 (I think), than 28, now 21.

Welcome Buhen! Just curious, what did you say in your e-mail to him? I wonder if he is only replying to people who are on the right track, because I never heard back from him.

A couple things I noticed about these e-mails:

    He keeps using a yahoo footer message, yet no one is using yahoo mail?
    The footer message is always misspelled. Last time newshound had one letter changed, this time com is xom. Possibly a hint at a substitution cipher?
    All emails end with 24 (does not equal) 26 0
    Except the 0 has a line through it (I'm too lazy to find the special character).

The reply my friend got has a similar message on the bottom. He does use Yahoo mail though, so I didn't pay it any attention. He only got one reply.


It says Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. http://mobile.yahoo.com Try it now. 24≠26.


He forwarded it to me:
