TACOMA, Wash., May 1 A large safe found in the middle of a street in Tacoma, Wash., has been found to contain nothing, at least nothing that would pay towing and storage charges.

When the safe was drilled open, police found some wood chips, paper clips and a small white spider, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.

The safe is now known to have been stolen from an Elks Temple, a building that is closed and empty. Police found marks of the safe's removal in dust on the floor of a former office.

When the safe was first discovered March 15, there was speculation it might contain a fortune in cash, a body or something else equally exotic. But Doug Jones, general manager of Robblee's Total Security, which drilled open the safe, had no great expectations.

"In the 31 years I have been doing this, I have never seen much in those things," he said.
