Can thieves rob a safe deposit box?
Yes, it happens, but fortunately not often. Safe deposit boxes are stored in concrete or steel vaults equipped with sophisticated alarms, locks, video cameras, motion sensors, heat detectors and other security devices. Most U.S. banks also have very strict access procedures, among them: verifying signatures, restricting access to the vault, never leaving anyone unattended inside the vault, and requiring two different keys (one being the bank’s “guard key”) to open a box. Final Thoughts It’s smart to want to protect irreplaceable documents and valuable possessions, for yourself and your heirs. We hope this report has given you answers and ideas to make you even smarter- and safer- when it comes to making decisions about a safe deposit box.
