[QUOTE="p91, post: 409720, member: 6174"]I've read some articles recently about banks & safety deposit boxes. Apparently, even if you keep your savings accounts up to date, if you do not check your safety deposit every 3 years (some states wanting to go to 1) they will hire a 3rd party to drill open your box, shred the papers and sell all valuables at an auction. This happened to a lady I saw on the news, she lived a few blocks down the street and they shredded her papers and sold her grandmas pearl necklace (appraised at 30k) for $1450. Seized property are in many states top 3 money-making sources. There have been suggestions of shortening the confiscation time, and measures to lessen notification to customers hence 'increase profits'. In the U.K. they are currently drilling random boxes and checking for drugs and guns (both of which are illegal, but so is the non-warrented drilling.) Not trying to scare anyone here - but check your boxes AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.[/QUOTE]
