my first thought is ........kids and / or grankids ....( or both ).
( especially since they were hidden inside the box ) ....and no damage to the outside of the box .... my instincts tell me whatever happened, did not occur / inside that box with 500 or more live primers still in it.
but then again, my boys both married well ( so my grandkids won't be as ugly as they are / and smarter !! ) ....because my boys would have gone out and done something foolish / and then tried to cover their tracks by putting them back like that .... ( kind of like beer dissappearing from the shelf in the garage ) ..... the 6 packs up front had beer in them / the ones in the back were empty bottles .... ( genius, just genius .... ) ....
