<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 4944763, member: 92655"]Only one I ever had was like this. My saintly mom was single, poor and worked harder than five people taking care of me as a youngster. I kept my little coin collection in it and a ten dollar bill I had received for a birthday or something..... One day with tears in her eyes my mom asked me to borrow that ten dollars which I did. I knew we were poor and ten bucks was a load of cash to a poor family...... For fifty years, each time I spoke to her she apologized for that ten dollars. I knew it bugged her deeply so two years ago I fixed up a half eagle on a rope chain and found one of these little safes to put it into and sent it to her on Mother’s Day with a note that the ten dollars was now nullified and never to be a burden to her again. When I went home in July she had that toy safe on her bedroom dresser. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1188656[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
