That's always my fear that they get bored and start poking around -- I know you have to have 2 keys, but they give you a key and no doubt keep a few in a drawer somewhere ...

Next to the empty cask they found a length of rubber tubing - he had been siphoning out or taking small sips on a regular basis for a decade or more. "Lips had never touched"

Sorry for the diversion ... you know how minds can wander. :-(

Nice dial on that Rolex; I like it a lot.
