Where to look for and how to solve safe puzzles in Modern Warfare 2

The first safe can be found with a dialog cue between Ghost and Soap joking about a safe in the coffee shop. After disarming the shotgun trap, go up the stairs and into a room where you hear a man crying. Open the locked door in the room with the prying tool. You must have a prying tool to access the door, which can be crafted with 1x Binding and 1x Metal. Pry the door open, and you will see a safe and a calendar in the room that hangs above the desk. Shine your torch on the calendar, as the dates hint at the code. The solution is the marked date. By following the day, month, and last two digits of the year, you will find six numerals which when entered will unlock the safe.

The second safe can be located in the El Maistro garage, on the right-hand side of the road, which you take during the objective of "Take the Tunnels to Reach the Church." You will find a garage door that is half open. Crawl under it to get inside. When you enter the garage, a laptop can be found in the room with the raised car. The laptop comes with three separate codes and players must determine the correct one. Behind the white car, you will find another room where the safe can be found.
