They could liquidate the contents because payments for the box were not being made or some mistake happened resulting in the system thinking you forfeit the box and its contents. Maybe your free box period has expired and you didn&#039;t know, or your accounts no longer meet the requirements for a free box and your aren&#039;t notified. The box could be seized as part of a debt resolution that were were not aware of, either legitimate debt, a result of fraud, or an accounting mistakes. blah blah blah</p><p><br /></p><p>All are technically possible i guess, but not all that likely in reality. Safety deposit boxes are plenty safe for most things you have.</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple practical things to keep in mind however. A safe/vault at home will hold a lot more than the shoe box they give you at the bank. If you have a decent sized collection, a SDB will not fulfill your storage needs. Also, the bank closes. During off hours, weekends, and holidays, you will not have access to your stuff. Dont store things in SDB&#039;s that you enjoy looking at, or like sharing with family or fellow collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
