Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

Here's another pair from the collection:
What builds up castles, tears down mountains, makes some blind and helps others to see?
I am a metal neither black nor red,
As heavy as man’s golden greed.
I’m what you do to stay ahead,
With man or arrow or steed.
What am I?

Re: the safe. I don't really know. BUT the woman wasn't carrying anything besides the jewelry case? Unless Art neglected to mention them, where were the materials used to damage the safe?

"Lead" is correct for the second riddle. Any guesses on the first one?

A plane crashes on the Canada and USA border. Where would you bury the survivors.

hakunamatata, I think you got the answer about the safe! And too bad I already know the answer about the plane crash - it wouldn't be fair to "guess."

Yes hakunamatata!!! Correct!!!
I also know the answer about the plane crash, so I am not going to answer.
