Thats cool I wonder what was inside the vault. Jimmy Hoffa? D. B. Coopers lost money? OR.......Absolutely nothing!! Probably the latter. nothing that cool happens in this town.
I went over to the dark side, but just to pick up a few things.

Damn. I saw the story earlier, but they only mentioned the cylinders at the time, not the vault. That is too freaking cool.

I heard all they found was the vault door and the frame. The safe was supposedly from the 70's when it was still legal to booby trap them with gas.
I don't know where to start.....

I used to eat at that restaurant all the time (I work at 10th and Grand.)

I have to believe there was a lot of money in the vault, because they sure as hell didn’t spend anything on the restaurant.

Aw, man. I miss all the cool stuff that happens around here. Anyhow, if the vault belonged to the restaurant, wouldn't they have taken the money when they left?

More than likely empty, but why would they leave the booby trap in place so long if it were.

the restaurant has not been closed very long. And they were very bitter about being evicted (aigns were all over the front of the building proclaiming their disgust. I therefore doubt they wanted to go through the expense of having th booby traps removed.
