DERRY, N.H. (AP) — Officials in a New Hampshire town are trying to figure out how a recently opened time capsule from 50 years ago has nothing in it.

Library director Cara Potter in Derry tells WMUR-TV that since she started there five years ago, the safe has been sitting on a shelf. Before that, it was kept at the old municipal building in town.

The combination was on the back of the safe. Potter said it took several tries to get it open recently on the 50th anniversary of when it was sealed in 1969. But it was empty.

No one has a list of what was originally put inside.

Officials said they have no idea who could have opened it and taken the items. They even speculated that nothing was put in there in the first place.




Pretty damn good troll job by some ole baw from 50 years ago

I'm thinking that's why the safe is empty.

Probably some hippie thought it was clever.

or maybe someone knew what was in there, realized it was very valuable, knew the combination and retrieved it and sold it.

Too bad someone didn't leave a 1971 penny in there.

It was filled with the polio virus. Prepare for the pandemic.

What a shitty time capsule

Actually, I'd argue a safe with the combination on the back isn't a time capsule at all
