> Homeland Security To Confiscate Bank Safe Deposit Box Contents

10 November 2006, 22:41

Today I went to my bank. I recieve a notice that my bank saftey deposit box was over due and would be drilled open by 12/6/06. The box was paid up through 10/31/06, and by 11/6/06 they issued a notice claiming that it was over due by 6 months and would be drilled open. When I went to the bank, I also found out that my account had been closed due to under perfomrance. It did not have a lot of money in it, but they zeroed out the account ( about $40 lost).

After reading the post here back in Feb. 06, I removed everything from that box and waited to see what would happen next. Mind you, that was 90 lbs of metal. For a long time nothing happen, and then they close the account prior to the box being due, and then notified me it was over due 6 months. They would be on that box in 30 days from the notice on 11/6/06.

Nothing is in it. I will turn in the keys on Monday. I would not have believed it unless it really happened to me and it almost did.

And just like others, once they open that box, if they inventory it and say nothing is in it, then there is nothing in it no matter what you may say or try and prove. It comes down to the honesty of people who make $7 dollars and hr. Think about that!!!!

And by the way, the bank employee can not explain why a box paid up through 10/31/06 would be declared 6 months over due on 11/6/06. Nor could she explain what happen to the money in my account. In fact, they are worthless in my mind.
