Thanks blurryface. It is worth considering. I play the what ifs in my mind all the time. With a dual key box system is theft really a concern? or just fire/flood disaster type issues?
theft seems to be a MUCH bigger concern than fire or flood. most of the times the theft is in direct relation to the branch manager and a outside locksmith. and almost 10/10 times its only money or jewelry that is reported stolen. i was shocked to know after reading an article and actually inquiring to my own local branch (wellsfargo) that just my local branch, exact place where i had my cards, had 3 reports of stolen or tampered with safety deposit boxes within the last fiscal year.
the tampered ones, i just assume were reported bc it might not of been something they wanted to admit of owning or being stolen. but yes, they are legally required to tell you if asked.
the one i moved them to had 1. and while the odds are quite rare, i was still shocked to learn that really anything other than some major bank heist occurs on a pretty frequent basis.
I totally agree with everything except 1 thing.....I bet they wouldn't tell you about theft if you asked them. Also, rarely do you speak to the branch manager. If you asked a normal employee, I'm assuming they wouldn't know. Plus if the manager is a crook, what good would asking him anything pertaining to theft as he would say no theft and then steal your stuff. Am I way off base here??
because per federal regulations they have to disclose it to you. they obviously can not give you any details, dates, parties involved or what was stolen.
Blurry,
If they are crooks, they will simply lie right? I mean you would ask and they would say no. No paperwork or anything on the question. Crooks don't follow rules and regulations. That's why they're crooks.
i agree crooks will lie, but i'm confused on who exactly we are calling "crooks". i'm saying that if you ask your bank or bank manager for the report, which is generated from corporate and mailed to you, how many thefts have occurred from that particular safety deposit vault that they have to provide that to you.

Blurry,
OK. That is the missing info I was not understanding. Asking the bank manager for a report that will be mailed to you. Thank you. Now that makes sense. I thought you were simply asking the Manager from how you worded it. Yes, a formal report would be excellent. Thanks for the info.
