A Warning For Safe Deposit Box Owners 

They actually shouldn’t have any keys. The box key should only be held by the owner of contents.

You are right, otherwise every lock would have to be drilled out when the owner doesn't return. There's always lies behind this stuff.Edit: Watch YT:" New twist in case of deposit box theft" (spoiler- its a bank crime)

I worked for a nationwide bank for 20 years. The customer gets 2 keys when they rent the box. The bank does not have any customer keys. The bank has guard keys that have to be used in conjunction with the customer's key. Some banks have gone to 1 key opening. The customer key will open the lock, no guard key needed.

It was the government...

@@larrykeenan598 Thanks. I guess that leaves the locksmith, because all locks get changed, sooner or later.

that's who I was thinking of, one case had the locks laying inside the now empty boxes.

or "This is the previous owner of the box, the bank forgot to change locks"

I wonder what banks do if you don’t pay and never return your keys? Hmm...

We all know LPL would be in that box in 30 seconds...

. The thing is, who gives you the keys for the lock you didn't supply?

Sounds like they were looking for an excuse to go through your stuff. The powers don't want people having secret cash, gold, valuables etc. Thats why it was "inventoried".

Anything of value they could steal

Routinely they search all the boxes They have both keys

Disgusting behaviour by your 1st bank experience. They did not inform the record’s department of head office. Then again it does sound shonky of banks not to guarantee the contents of the boxes. You may as well left it at a police station safe lock-up or in your garden for they have more security than banks do.

FBI or LEO

Great point!

True

Yeah, in that sense, a bog-standard bank account is far safer - there are basic rules about disputing transactions and caps on account-holder liability for fraudulent transactions, and even if the bank fails, the FDIC will back the deposit.

For every dollar you have, three people are trying to take it.

@@hera7409 Well, let's start with the porch thieves. Then there are the phone scammers and the computer scammers. And let's not forget the banks. They invent and charge lots of extra fees to drain your account. Do you have any relatives looking to you for a soft touch? How about scam charities? Even the real charities steal money nowadays. The US Council of Catholic Bishops recently took $500,000 dollars from the Campaign for Human Development and dedicated it to not only supporting abortion on demand, but encouraging the legal requirement that other Catholics do the same despite being officially against abortion. I can't imagine that what us donors had in mind. Have you ever dealt with a general contractor? Do you pay taxes?

@Ashura Make copies of documents and keep them in a different house.

@@childfreesingleandatheist8899 Yes, copy your cash and keep the copy in a different box! Chances are the thieves will not pick both of your boxes! :)

The fbi has a 100% close rate on bank robberies for over 30 years

Yeah but who's gonna watch 40 years worth of video footage to find a 10 second clip of the theft lol

@@gedeo No it's still not doable. Who's about to pay a team of 4-6 people a year salary, just to find her belongings, just for the possibility of 1 team member falling asleep for 10 seconds during the moment of theft?

@@gedeo Not done, because there won't be a motion to detect lol. No burglar will blatantly walk in front of a camera to go inside her save deposit box. I'm sure during the moment of theft the camera was either turned off, blacked out, or pointed towards the ground. And if the burglary was really clever, the monitor screen will just read "Sucker" 💀💀

@@jamesross1798 Isn't it the job of investigators to, um, investigate?

They may record 24/7/365 but unfortunately footage is only kept for 30 to 60 days. Have you ever tried to watch footage? It's a bitch to find what you're looking for if you don't know when it happened. Regardless, the bank should offer insurance to everyone "included" in the rental price.

It has to be someone really high up. It can't be opened without both the customer and banks key. Someone who has access to the keys the customer is giving had to of made a copy of the keys and had time to put them back. It shouldn't be to hard to figure out who has access to those restricted keys. A standard bank teller can't just go and grab those keys. A bank manager comes with you and unlocks it then leaves the room to give you privacy. There's only a few people in the bank who can pull this off.

@@cgfh8673 If the banks offered insurance everyone would claim they had millions in their boxes and it went missing. The only way it could work is if the banks recorded everything that went into and out of each persons box

@@fronttowardenemy7972 not all of your money should be in one place. Some should be stored away for easy access, some should be invested for the long term and mid term.

@@heedmywarning2792 Silver and Gold aren't for the everyday investors. That's BS media tried to spread to stop people from bankrupting the fat cats at WallStreet during the GME craze.

@@TheDorianTube does crypto still work if the internet is down?

The box might be plastic, but the door with the key lock is not.

A shovel and a metal box works for me

How difficult would it be to place an inconspicuous camera in the area where the customer opens the box, angled to give a view of its contents? If linked to a phone app, it would be armchair shopping for an inside thief. Also there are automatic lockpicks used by law enforcement and government agents that have been around for decades. You just insert, pull a trigger, and the device cycles through a sequence of notch positions until the lock opens in a few seconds. No skills required. You only need to drill if you're replacing the entire lockset. Opening a lock is easy.

That is INTERESTING....WOW!! Thanks for sharing that....WOW!!!

Yeah. At least earn a few percent in a savings account lol. And be protected under fdic.

That's not the point.

Also: If they advertised that the items were safe and used anywhere in any commercial the word "guarenteed" that could constitute a separate verbal agreement. False advertising as well.

Oh it’s a story, just about how stupid she is.

Maybe she did ask and didn't say no so they just left it out

Someone she knows very well took her key. I can’t imagine a bank employee would want old photos along with cash. She needs to take a hard look at her family.

@@zacharyschellinger4769 Depends if it was ONLY her box that was robbed or many were. The problem is, the robberies won't be detected until people visit their boxes. To use someone's key, you need to sign in pretending to be her, so there would be a paper trail that she would notice that she didn't visit on a particular date because she rarely visits. Or they need to rent their own box and be left alone in the vault! Plus know how to pick the bank key or the bank key is left there for them to take an impression of or quickly use to open their own lock. Not simple. Also risky.

Easy to pick the locks. Only need time alone. Do they leave people alone in the vault while they deal with the contents of their boxes? Is the bank key left in the lock unattended and thus an imprint can be made, so only one lock needs to be picked? Example of picking a safety deposit box double lock: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fQcx8LNF8xk.html

@@zacharyschellinger4769 BS

Brian West my point is a family member could do all of the things you mentioned and have access to the the key negating the need to pick a lock. Secondly we are assuming that this bank actually supervised those visiting the safety deposit boxes. If they’re indemnified from all liability for theft then it doesn’t really matter if they do a good job or not because they can’t be sued. Being that this story was aired on TV had there been a rash of thefts we probably would have heard about it. Most importantly a thief doesn’t want family photos, hence why were they also missing.

Why would anyone be responsible for secret things you put in a box? I could say I had $6 million worth of diamonds in my safe deposit box and now they are gone. Are they suppose to give me $6 million? They have no clue what you put in your box.... it's a secret storage. And, the bank probably prohibits cash in a safety deposit box anyway, most do. If you want to put those things in a safe place, just rent a very small storage unit. That way no one has access but you and you can set up a camera in it if you choose.

With over a hundred thousand banks in the country, you're worried about one incident? Do you drive a car? I bet there was an accident somewhere near you today. Does that mean you won't drive your car? Of course not. Are you going to walk across the street even though you know people get hit by cars doing the very same thing every day? Of course not. Unless there's something wrong with you.

Well there's your problem. You live in Commiefornia

That is way too invasive........ What the heck?????

Ok, here is the fix. DON'T pay your DMV fee again, but first fill you box with dog shit.... .lots of it....

I have my suspicions that there was nothing in there. How did they know to target her box out of all the boxes and where did they get the time to go through every box?

@@bighands69 I can't say I disagree. Something's not right here.

There's a followup story about another woman finding some of this woman's belongings in her box and that her box had been moved. Some fishy games are afoot at this bank.

You can show ID and get a replacement key. The lock isn’t replaced; there are dupes of all the keys at the bank. They give you a new one and then order a spare to keep on hand. So, 1 fake ID later, and boom, you're in. Could've been a fam member years ago when IDs were easier to fake. The bank can also move your stuff to a new box. Our small hometown bank was acquired by a big corp bank, and they 'upgraded' all the safety deposit boxes. (Read, inventoried contents and made the standard size smaller so they could rent more boxes in the same amount of space.) We got a letter that you could come in by a certain date, or they'd do it on their own. We went in of course. But if another box holder found this woman's stuff mixed in with her own, someone f'd up big time.

Correction: ...a system that supposedly requires TWO keys FOR YOU to open (one you hold, the other the bank’s), a state ID, and signature match..." It obviously doesn't take any keys for the bank or law enforcement to open.

That's hard to believe. My bank is great. They all know me and no one else could get into the box. Don't get a box where a bank doesn't really know you. Something is fishy with this whole story. It's not that easy to clean out a box. You have to show I.D. if they don't know you. You have to sign a form that matches the original signature. You have to have the key! IT's not that simple to do this. I think there's more to this story than what the woman is saying.

That she never have $67k in her box.

I once had several hundred thousand dollars (equivalent) in an overseas box. I found a few thousand missing, and the bank said he was probably missing to begin with (the cash was shrink wrapped but one brick was a bit loose). Wasn't drug money but I let it go, you can't prove them wrong and the vast bulk of my money was still there and I got it out eventually. As for the 'dual lock' safe deposit as another guy says a skilled locksmith can pick them easily.

How do we know who is telling the truth here? She has no proof she put that money in there and the bank has no proof she didn't. That was a dumb move by her to put that money in there, assuming she even did.

@@raylopez99 Those locks are high security lever locks. They are far, very very far, from being easy to pick.

@@cooldudicus7668 Maybe, but I talked to a locksmith who works with banks who claims he can pick them. Maybe he's a master locksmith like that guy in PN that could pick even the best combination lock.

Yeah it’s not gaining any interest sitting an the box, and it’s not FDIC secured.

In a bank it is just pixels on a screen and they aren't obligated to give you the money if you close out your account. They don't even have to have the money on hand. So having the money in a box makes sense.

Perhaps she was receiving some kind of state aid and there is only a certain amount you are allowed to have in the bank I know on SSI you are only allowed $2,000 in assets

@@Acecool Since you don't believe in having money in any bank accounts since it doesn't make sense to you, does that mean that you have all of your money in a bank safety deposit box instead of any bank account? Do you always have your money from paychecks go straight in the box, and do you go to the bank to get the money out where it's in cash, every time you want to spend that money?

@@Acecool No, it does not make sense to have greenbacks in a safe deposit box. If you are going to trust a bank to maintain your box you can trust them to pay interest on a savings account that is FDIC insured. Better yet is to invest that money in low risk mutual funds or target retirement funds. She could have as much as 10 times as much money now over all those years if she had done so and would have had access to it.

Or, you stay at the bank who knows you. My bank knows me by name. If someone got my key (not likely) and went to get into the box, there are safeguards in place. First they have to identify themselves. Second, they have to sign the registry. Third they have to convince the bankers that they are me. Not so easy to just go in an get a box.

About three weeks later when I finally read it expecting just to see a bunch of formality about disposition of property and no inequal treatment of any sibling I found not just the favoritism that you might think would make him the guy in no hurry to go through all that stuff (until that moment I really did believe that I’d been advantaged with a better mother and all sorts of other stuff that justified a lifetime of cutting slack I never wanted to believe was favoritism for my brother) but also he raised the idea (of declaring him unfit) a month after Dad executed said will favoring my brother. Execuhole had to tell him incompetence invalidates recently-executed wills. No shit. If I was making up fiction I would make it up easier to believe. He’s a half brother nine years younger who I evidently should’ve strangled in his crib but I was instead never anything but stupid enough to be protective toward.

Niga been watching Bourne identity too many times

That is true, need 2 keys and ID. Security cameras everywhere in my bank. Put cash in bearer bonds.

The wall that constrains and contains the entire 'wall section' of safe deposit boxes is usually designed to be REMOVED as duing bank emergencies and national need. Dont store anything of value in a commercial bank vault

Assuming she even put the money in there. How do we know that for a fact? You are put alone in a small room to open and close your box. Neither she nor the bank has any proof the money was in there. She should have put that money into an investment account or at least a regular savings account that is insured by FDIC. I don't know if this woman is telling the truth or pulling a scam.

I noticed that immediately....I didn't see a 2 lock system.....only one. I was aware of those rules when I started my deposit box years ago. Really, they are about only good for storing important documentation and that's about it. Since during Co-vid I couldn't get into mine, I"m now thinking of just getting either a large safe or fireproof safety box and keep my stuff at home..... If you got cash....it's probably best to hide it at home....

After the senior dies, I guess it is theirs to keep.

@@crand20033 Most have another person's name on the box

I don't think that's correct Happy, the update stated if they heard more they'd enter a criminal investigation but would only state bank error for moving things around after another customer's keys wouldn't work.

@@bc1969214 This gets more and more fishy by the minute!

Now the bank liable.
