Message:: [QUOTE="WoodyWW, post: 1361086, member: 26001"]I went thru the same thing, in a major metro-area, in the 1980's. It's just reality. And yes, there is no "central inventory". Even if there were, don't you think all of the people clamoring for SD boxes at all the branches, would go into the same "central inventory"?  One tip: get to know the branches where you most want a new SD box. Talk to the manager, or the vault attendant if it's a big enough branch to have one.  You might get lucky--they don't "have to" follow the "waiting list" if you call or show up on the right day. As far as putting a giant safe in your house: Sure. But I wouldn't keep all your valuables there. Do you think thieves would have less problem breaking into a bank vault than whatever safe the average person could afford?  You sometimes hear fantasies by some of the PM people about the "government" confiscating all of the bank SD boxes; I heard all of that stuff back in the 1970's. But there's no easy answer, except maybe to "diversify" your storage, & that can get difficult too......[/QUOTE]
