There might be a million dollars in there!

If you cut a hole in the bottom of the fiberglass tub a 3/4inch one should be big enough. If there is a code number stamped into the lock cylinder you can get a key made from that. (see picture for code location) If not, the lock cylinder can be disassembled and a key made by reading the tumblers. If you can't find a locksmith in your area to make a key PM me. The lock cylinders for those are pretty hard to find.....
