Can you please tell me when? I´ve heard about the safe opening threat all my life but have never heard of it ever happening.
Who keeps a bank safety box? It´s not for everybody, there are quite few of them, small and expensive in the long run, all things considered. Not practical in most cases.
What valuables to store in such small boxes and where to liquidate them once SHTF and cash is self destroying?
Who trusts the banks that much, with such a possibility in the first place and the fact that banks already closed their doors and left everybody holding their breaths back in 2001?
IMO, bank safety deposit boxes are a thing of the past for most, like the mattress or piggy bank.
Opening them would likely piss off the wrong people and certainly would not bring any significant amount of profit for the ones doing it.
