[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 621966, member: 5233"]It's VERY rare for a box to be drilled and there's all kinds of procedures involved. I'm sure there have been a couple examples of mistakes made (that video for example)...nothing is perfect. But, that happens at an unbelievably small rate in comparison to home thefts. I worked at a bank for a year and in all that time we had 1 (one) box drilled. That box was drilled because the owner hadn't paid in several years and attempts to reach him through multiple paths had failed. The state had to confirm the customer had passed away. The contents were then turned over to the state for them to locate the next of kin...and if not then to be auctioned. But, it is very rare and complicated. Are SDB's 100% perfectly safe...of course not, nothing is. But, they are much more safe than a home storage method. If you are want to have your coins in the safest possible location than a SDB is the answer. I have said many times I don't use one because I want to have my coins near me so I can enjoy them when I want.
