More than tangential! For those on the fence, the article is fun. It has some technical details about the actual mechanics of getting inside safes but gets a little into the psychology of it as well. For example, families cracking the safe of a deceased loved one may be both excited, sad, and afraid of what they’ll find (secrets are like that).
