    Do you have the key? If there is a number on the barrel a locksmith can cut a new one for £5.
    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring

    The box is in my nephew's (many miles away from me) - looks like some twigs and maybe wires inside (so wouldn't want to open in case of live wires).


    Not causing any issues, just everyone's curious as to what it could be.

    Those look like very low voltage wires. They won't be carrying mains electricity, if anything, telecoms.
