<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 622142, member: 13650&quot;]Will you e-mail that line to the lady in that video?&nbsp;&nbsp; If this is the odds you&#039;re willing to give yourself concerning the chance of a point in time when you&#039;re willing to admit that an authority willingly engaged in corruption, than I would agree.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;It&#039;s amazing how some people will try to rationalize, deny and find every excuse in the book to somehow find themselves or someone else at fault when something like what happened to the woman in the youtube video happens.&nbsp; &nbsp; As in, there just &#039;had&#039; to be some legal reason why that happened.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I view the situation very simply.&nbsp; Somebody was legally ripped off by the state.&nbsp; Their money was stolen and used by the state.&nbsp; Now they have to settle in court for a $$ amount over family heirlooms lost.&nbsp; That is the reality of the situation.&nbsp; To me, this is corruption that should NOT have happened.&nbsp; Not an unfortunate incident.&nbsp; How many more cases have happened that didn&#039;t make the news?&nbsp; That&#039;s the big question.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Maybe you should put odds on what the chances are of having your box left alone?&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course they won&#039;t steal from everybody all at once.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I&#039;m sure a certain percentage they will try and more than likely get away with, calling them all &quot;unfortunate incidents&quot; or &quot;accidents&quot; if they get caught, of course!&nbsp; You see, they can get away with that.&nbsp; You and I can&#039;t.&nbsp; We would go to jail.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; To me, it&#039;s painfully obvious that many states view these SDBs as a revenue source.&nbsp;&nbsp; Was it N.H. they said that unclaimed property was the state&#039;s third largest income!?&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; <b>As such, they have zero incentive to spend much effort if any to locate people.&nbsp; This is a conflict of interest.</b>&nbsp; It&#039;s apparent to me that they know a certain percentage will pass a time limit.&nbsp; A certain percentage of customers will pass away.&nbsp; Somebody will miss a payment.&nbsp; Somebody will break a rule.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Then they hope that people will be too discouraged or unable to spend their time, tied up in court to get their own or their family&#039;s property.&nbsp;&nbsp; To me, it seems like nothing more than another scam, or slight of hand trick (out of many) being pulled by the banking industry and apparently some states.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m sure the rules and policies vary greatly from state to state and bank to bank at the moment as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; A local bank in rural Montana would probably worry me less than a large bank in California right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; BTW, notice that the woman in the video, once realizing what had happened, couldn&#039;t just go to the nice little bank, explain what had happened and be fully reimbursed.&nbsp;&nbsp; Notice that she had to hire a lawyer and go to court to get a settlement after the bank and the state realized THEY were at fault.&nbsp; How exactly does that earn people&#039;s trust here??[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
