It’s not everyday you stumble upon a vault in your place of work. The owner Harry Caray’s restaurant, which is in a historic Chicago building, says he found an underground vault that could potentially contain a mobster’s missing money.
Grant DePorter said he was clearing out some unused space in the corner of the basement when he spotted what appeared to be a doorway in the brick wall that was closed up with newer bricks. He says the building once belonged to mobster Frank “The Enforcer” Nitti and his wife, who took over for Al Capone when the infamous mob boss went to prison. DePorter is hoping to find what’s behind the wall without tearing it down, and said he’s looking into possibly using an ultrasound machine before deciding on breaking down the wall.
