Does anyone still do this?
|
|
nope, I know my parents used to. I wonder if they still have one.
|
|
Yeah, $25 a year for climate controlled and secure storage for important docs. Cheaper and safer than a home safe.

View Quote While I do agree with your post, I also know of one incident of fire in a bank. I don't know how much damage was done to the contents obviously. Just some thing to think about. Since this is arfcom, I say "get both". |

To answer the OP's question.
Yes, safety deposit boxes are still very popular. Maybe not in some circles, but overall, still doing quite well. Though I admit it has been years since I have been inside a coupon room. |

I'm going to empty mine tomorrow.
I was going to do it today, but forgot to grab the key. |
|
I do. It is free with my one of my accounts at my bank.
It has a copy of our will, power of attorney paper work and a list and pics of our house and household inventory. Haven't looked in it for a couple years. Need to go check it out some day I guess. |
|
I have one for free with an account. Problem is I can't find a bank within reasonable distance that has one available and the new banks don't even have them.

.gov can go in them if they want. doesn't take much to get a bullshit warrant for those...
|
|
|
Well I did til about a week ago when I had to go empty it out because that bank branch is closing! Stuff will just go in my gun safe now and save me $25 a year
|
|
Yes. Copies or orig. important papers. Ownership papers to property, autos. etc. Copies of college trans, birth cert., etc. A little money. A few things to make it possible to restart our lives if something bad happened to our house.

Had a box at AmSouth for years. Regions buys them out and moves the AmSouth boxes a mile down the road to their branch. Very convenient to us. I go in to access the box, girl looks at her screen and says I'm not authorized to open the box. Fortunately my wife, who had never used the box, WAS still authorized. When she signed the physical ledger I pointed out the half page of my signatures to the genius accompanying us. |

|
Yes the biggest one they have. Keep a couple pistols, a copy of digital scans important stuff and pictures backups. I rotate a HDD out as stuff is added. House deeds car titles ect.
|
|
Yes.
Wills, powers of attorney, property deed, vehicle titles, stock certificates, marriage certificate, long-form birth certificates, copies of passports and my immigration docs, etc. Oh, and IBTGOFRIASYG (in before the ghost of FDR reaches in and snatches your gold) |

Free with my account, good place to store backups of important documents. Absolutely.

Especially with the freedom loving govt we have now. |

No but it sounds like I need one if I'm gonna be operator as fuck.
|
|
|
I have had one for 25 years
My completed pilot logs along with valuble papers are kept in there |
|
We had one for quite a while when we were a little younger and less disciplined. Would keep a few to several thousand cash in it. Just made us take one more step before blowing it on impulse.
|
|
|
Yes. I keep one in a different state in the small town my grandmother lives in. Saw too many people who left Katrina who didn't even have phone numbers of people they wanted to call.
