Honestly, no one was going to go back to the closed bank and check the vault. I mean how does a call rep even issue such action. It would definitely take a higher up with that kind of access and desire to double-check to do something like that.
I can't believe a bank employee actually told that woman, "Maybe you came in to get your safe deposit box (and don't remember)? That person needs to be fired! The "happy ending" is a bunch of bullshit that her box was just "left behind". The staff was caught red-handed is all. Whoever was involved in that racket must be fired!
Such is a very common tactic today, not just with the elderly. It's so common I'm wondering if this isn't taught by Management... deflect and redirect. Rather than address the problem, they dismiss a person, sending them away questioning theirself. Said person then invests hours, if not days trying to address the matter, exhausting every possible option. 21st Century Customer Service... provide as little as possible and put all on the customer, with a Convenience fee.
She had proof with the letter that both Banks were in on the transfer !! It is their responsibility to make sure she gets her box!! She has also paid them for this service as well!!

That is a crock. If a relative had access to the box and went into the box, they would have had to sign a document to gain entrance to the box section to retrieve and open the box. There would be a dated record of such person and a video camera(s) somewhere in that bank recording the entire transaction..and recording that person entering and leaving the safe deposit box section. Who are they kidding?
Also, why wasn’t that their first statement? Their first excuse, was that she must have forgot that she took the box. Both of those situations would have left a paper trail.
When a bank has clients address, e-mail and phone number, the bank do not use them to contact the client and make an appointment to close the deal. There is no responsibility. I would never ever store my belonging in a bank, except for digital account with issued debit card. And I take no loans.
No mention of a log. Every visit to the vault by every visitor or maintenance personnel is to be recorded. Signature and ID is required. Lock smiths that has business there are to be bonded, and video cameras are everywhere these days.
They might even inform of that either. Or maybe they did and she tose the letter away. A lot of insurance companies I assist my patients with they bailed out on them with no notice. They come to find out when they called and the the says " it's no longer in service"
It says in the video she received a letter telling her the bank was moving it. I’d call a letter mailed to your house, in your hand is a fair notice. @@78tag
starting to? just now? guess you must be like 18-19 or so. this isn't even anything new, banks aren't your friends. ultimately they only care about their bottom line. historically they've always been like this.
They are full of s***, this lady was robbed, lets call it what it is. They got scared and gave it back. They figured she was elderly and would let it go
...they already said it - they figured she wouldn't remember she had a security box. If and when she (or her family) figured it out the bank would declare non-liability. "It's your fault, why didn't you notify us of the problem in a timely manor?"

Not everyone believes that story. The news caster says the fact multiple people had access to box meant bank felt the contents had been removed at bank branch closing. Hey at least she got her stuff back.
While I want to say, good man for stepping up. The Bank tried to dismiss respondsibility with the statement pertaining to multiple people having access. Per their statement, it was left behind. So, it was the only one? No Bank Employee was tasked to confirm every box had been removed? Did they bother to open the door to every box in the vault? Or, were they keeping a stash of boxes, and she made enough noise, they decided it wasn't worth the hastle? Little about the Banks side of this story makes sense, it was either wilfull lack of adherence to basic safety protocols associated with the transport of Securities, or it was attempted theft.
Exactly what I was thinking! Too much from the bank's explanation doesn't add up. No matter how many family members have legal access to a box, that doesn't explain how a box was left behind by employees at all. Ridiculous!
It isn't that we ever trusted them, they just designed the system so we have to use them. How else are the money changers going to get rich for doing nothing?
wow, the gaslighting from the incompetent bank is astounding. First, anyone breaking into my home wouldn't find my safe, let alone use my own tools to break it open. Secondly, if I'm home, they're leaving in a body bag. Banks are thieves. They no longer pay good interest to loan out our money. Then charge you if you leave your accoun dormant. What a racket.
...it's worse than that - you are charged for the privilege of letting them use your money. When they get around to turning everything digital, who do think is going to get charged for that effort? Guaranteed will invent a new "service charge" just like the one paid for using credit cards.
@@78tag precisely my point. Thank you for wording it better. When they go digital, some of us will be forced to use cash and barter. I live in the south, so it won't be a challenge in my neck of the woods.
@BookZealots: I've used safety deposit boxes in the past but have heard horror stories of police/FBI seizing an entire vault's contents with a single box search warrant and then making innocent box holders prove they own the contents. I closed my box and purchased a TL-15 vault (TL-30 is bank grade) and secure my possessions in my home.
It seems as though til the very end, the bank refused to take responsibility. First they blamed her and said she may have taken it. Then they said, oh well it's because multiple family members had access to it, so that created confused. Never once did they finally just say, "Oops, we screwed up and we're going to make this right!" I get that they're still safer than home safes, but geez man, it seems as though you have no recourse if they screw up.
Having an exposed safe is why they got his. If he had a floor safe, they never would have found it. You always put furniture over it and nobody is going to start moving furniture around in a quick robbery.
Are you serious??? If a burglar(s) wants to rob a home or business a floor safe covered by furniture isn't going to be a foolproof deterrent!!! The burglar simply has to add $10 furniture sliders to their burglar kit!!! The majority of thefts or break-ins are committed or orchestrated by someone the victim knows personally. So anyone including a friend, family member, the construction contractor, or the clerk in the building permit office knows about the floor safe securely covered with an area rug & sleeper sofa!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
guess again. My family were builders and we put floor safes in every basement and not one was ever found and in fact, it was never disclosed until the new home owner purchased the home. After 20 years, none have been discovered after numerous robberies over the decades.@@KeleWele23
@@KeleWele23 "The majority of thefts or break-ins are committed or orchestrated by someone the victim knows personally" Got a source for this statement you are spreading as fact? Or did you just pull it out of your ass and assume it's true?
@@fictitiousnightmares Most high value burglaries are inside jobs. That fact has been true for quite some time. However, your average run of the mill thefts and break-ins are random or crimes of opportunity.
Banks are No Longer Banks, but collection houses of Fees and transactions. Since about 2000 Wirld Banking Laws, when you Open an account, that account then Belongs to the Bank. You just pay gor the access to your account. You freely and Willingly sign up for it. Credit Unions are a better option.
The bank blames multiple people had access but they had the key to the building and the responsibility to make sure every i was dotted and every t was crossed. How dare they insult this lady like they did(twice)!
Only put enough in your bank to pay your bills. Go to your bank and try to pull out 10,000 if you have it and see how much bs you gotta go thru to get your own money
I put 20k in a safety deposit box at ascend and watched them lock it, and when I went back a week later to get some money out it was unlocked and looked tampered with
Any money you deposit in any account is legally the bank's money, not yours. Someday the banks are going to pull a fast one. How many trillions in debt? 35 and counting.
@@Razmatazz522 - that was Obama's first thought. Obiden is following up on taking every dime the upper middle class has. They understand how much money is wrapped up in the hard working people of this country and they want ed all of it.
The banks, the govt, and the new world order is coming for everything we have earned. They don't try to take it from the people who haven't earned it - they negotiate with the crooks because they know they can't take it from them. Half of them are the crooks.
If you outright own your own home, you should have a fire/waterproof floor safe, not a wall safe or free-standing one they are easy to break into. My mother-in-law had one and when she died we had no clue to it. We found it when we went to replace the carpet in her bedroom. It was in her walk-in closet. We didn't have the combo or key for it so we had to hire a locksmith to open it. It took him almost an hour with professional tools to do it lol
I had a box once. Paid the fees every month by check. Went to put something in the box and found out that they had planned to drill it the next day due to non-payment. Not only did they apply my payment EVERY month to the wrong account, but they never contacted me directly nor contacted my Dad who was a co-owner when it was supposedly in arrears. After what happened in CA with the FBI confiscating boxes, I don't know that your stuff is ever going to be safe at a bank.
Another sign of eroding customer service. It's too much trouble now for banks to protect your belongings that you pay them to protect. They never would have cared enough to find this woman's box if the news station hadn't gotten involved.
Many years ago I got a letter from a bank where I had a safe deposit box. The letter let me know that that branch was closing and I needed to come to the bank and get the contents and move it to another branch by a certain date. Which I did. My bank would have never moved (or opened) a customer's personal papers (or whatever) unless the box was abandoned for a certain period of time or like in this case the customer failed to retrieve their items.
@@RhondaSantis-u4z you’re right, they charge 10 dollars a month when your balance goes below 500 dollars 🙄 I feel like that’s a “ poor “ tax. It’s bad enough you don’t have much money but they are kicking you while you’re down.
Also, if possible, when opening a new safe deposit box, make sure there are 2 employees present when obtaining the keys to that new box. Dual control needs to be exercised with the unrented box keys. That way, it is less likely that some employee had made duplicates of the unrented boxes.
Take a damn “Incident report” even if there is no proof of intent to deprive or if the P.D. says it’s a civil violation because it involves a contract/agreement between the bank and the box renter. I bet her box wasn’t the only one “left behind,” just the only one left behind that the renter discovered missing.
There would be paperwork either way if you just took your box. Just can't walk in and out of a bank with your safe deposit box when you feel like it you can't leave with it..banks are glorified check cashing
Someone accidentally left one box behind when they did the transfer. The bank president returned to the closed bank and found it. Picture all the boxes left open except for one. How difficult would it be to spot? Maybe it was an honest oversight - maybe not.
Wow...he has about 11 similar cases. Not good. I'm glad she got everything back. Never have multiple people, especially families members listed to your banking. Oh please, so the box is just somewhere in the bank, yeah right, the employee or employees was going thru people's boxes to see if there was cash, jewelry, gold...but she had papers that they couldn't use.
On their sign, the "Born of Integrity" slogan should be changed to "Born of stupidity". How freaking INSULTING of them to tell a customer to her face she must have "Forgot" taking her own box out. What the hell?
This makes no sense that the box was left behind. I work in banking with boxes and was involved in moving boxes to a new location years ago. It entailed many people and armored transport to do it. The entire "nest" of boxes is moved, not individual boxes. Two keys are always required to access, so you can not open and move boxes. When notified by the bank of a move, you should ALWAYS take your contents out and replace them once the move is done. Where I work currently, we have about a dozen box contents that were never claimed from the closure of our location. We never moved our boxes and required customers to come get their belongings and re-rent at other locations. Every box was checked (always in dual custody) and verified empty before we left the location. It's crazy that happened....bad banking protocol for sure!!! Glad it was found for her!!
The bank where you are employed... Shows great integrity, as it should be... She is a lovely woman... ❤ I'm so glad that her valuables were located & returned! 🤗
*Bank of labor* A small bank is the best way to go. The VP just gave themselves the best advertising ever. If you banked at Chase or any of the other wall st. banks If it got resolved at all would have taken months if not years.
I have been hearing really bad things about keeping valuables in a safe box at a bank. All the stuff I have heard, I will NEVER trust a bank with my stuff.
SVP did the right thing and took personal responsibility to find the missing box. Good thing the lady checked to see if contents had been moved to new location. PS - My old bank downsized and sold the old branch to a pawnshop who started leasing out the boxes in the vault area.
I would suggest private companies that only offer safe deposit boxes, but there's that infamous case from California where the FBI took ALL the private boxes and tried to keep the contents, despite having NO PROOF of criminal activity. It's a shame that happened, but with a lot of bank branches closing, the vaults should be put to good use. Maybe combine the safe deposit business with a mailbox store.
Hilarious that the bank didn't keep detailed records of where the 'safety' deposit boxes were at all times. If they're that pathetic about tracking physical boxes and not knowing who had access, imagine how bad they must be with their electronic records?
David P. McGuinn, President of Safe Deposit Specialists is the expert interviewed for choosing a box and helping with recovery. If anyone tried to look it up from the transcript and were thwarted. The vaults are safer from fire & flood than your personal abode, as well as less susceptible to physical theft (unlike admins committing digital theft every day with fees & fines...) so good for backup.
My bank was moving and I went and got my stuff out and waited for the new box, and eventually they got rid of all the boxes. Thinking about getting one at my credit union that's in a older former 60s bank and has safe deposit boxes
I wonder how many other boxes were left in the old Bank? if any I'm willing to bet they all belong to older American citizens not anyone with or considered to have a sound mind and body. Just despicable at least we know what bank not to do business with.
As someone who worked at a bank ,some of these less commonly used products many banks dont even know the procedures with those things . Many people dont use them but unfortunately its still probably the safest option since it can be an easy win in court than lets say u leave it at home so.
The contents are mine but I would think the actual box is property of the bank (just like the vault holding the boxes). They're probably quite pricey to replace as well. I just can't believe banks would allow a customer to leave with the contents and the box. It makes no sense.
About 25 years ago when my mother passed I got here safe which is decent since weighs about 250 lbs I keep all personals there I have the combo and so does my son and as far as protecting it at home I have two friends that assist me Mr Sigsaur and Mr Ruger
Remember in 2020 when everyone was in lock-down? People weren't able to access their safe deposit boxes! That was only for a short time, but what happens next time? 🤔
It depends on what type of safe you buy, any fire safe can be opened in 60 seconds. A fire safe is generally not designed to protect against thieves. Even a more robust safe can be opened with enough time.
I used a safety deposit box at Wells Fargo bank for nearly 20 years .. Every two months I would have to drive a fair distance to open it and deposit my Savings Bonds into my box .. Finally it occurred to me I was spending a lot of money each year and spending my time driving over to my branch .. I looked into getting my own safe at home .. I researched them and found one that was not only fire proof but that weighed over 500 pounds .. I didn't buy a cheap safe you see at department stores . I shopped at a safe store which also sold hunting rifles , it was a hybrid gun safe and fire proof security safe , which has 6 high quality solid steel locking bolts and quality combination lock .. it cost me over a $1,000 but originally sold for $1,500 , plus I had to pay to have it moved into my home .. But I did the math and I had spent much more renting the safety deposit box at my bank over the years .. I love the fact that it is hidden in my home and can be accessed anytime I need to ..
They looked at all the owners of each safe deposit box on paper and selected the ones who were elderly, hoping they had died or become too senile to remember. The bank "transition" provided the perfect cover to "forget" those boxes at the old branch, wait for a period of "clearance," and then take possession of those boxes themselves. An honest investigator needs to check that bank and see how many more boxes are "missing" and notify the next of kin.
I’ve been hearing this lately with “safety deposit boxes”? One idea: put a note in there: “Do not touch! If you’re reading this I do not want you to touch this box! I didn’t authorize any move etc!”
Amazing how the bank found the box AFTER the news got involved. Simply amazing
Yeah. He totally thought he can defeat a willful elderly.
Every time.
Honestly, no one was going to go back to the closed bank and check the vault. I mean how does a call rep even issue such action. It would definitely take a higher up with that kind of access and desire to double-check to do something like that.
Just like all those companies that finally pay after the news gets involved.
.... works every time.
I can't believe a bank employee actually told that woman, "Maybe you came in to get your safe deposit box (and don't remember)? That person needs to be fired!
The "happy ending" is a bunch of bullshit that her box was just "left behind". The staff was caught red-handed is all. Whoever was involved in that racket must be fired!
Yea trying to gaslight her to avoid accountability and responsibility that is some really lowdown and dirty sht.
Such is a very common tactic today, not just with the elderly. It's so common I'm wondering if this isn't taught by Management... deflect and redirect. Rather than address the problem, they dismiss a person, sending them away questioning theirself. Said person then invests hours, if not days trying to address the matter, exhausting every possible option. 21st Century Customer Service... provide as little as possible and put all on the customer, with a Convenience fee.

She needs to get a small fireproof safe and keep it in her house.
She had proof with the letter that both Banks were in on the transfer !! It is their responsibility to make sure she gets her box!! She has also paid them for this service as well!!

That is a crock. If a relative had access to the box and went into the box, they would have had to sign a document to gain entrance to the box section to retrieve and open the box. There would be a dated record of such person and a video camera(s) somewhere in that bank recording the entire transaction..and recording that person entering and leaving the safe deposit box section. Who are they kidding?
If it was not a bank employee AND if they followed procedures….
💯 % true. But I bet she never asked any of those questions either because of her age. She might not know that. That would be my questions
The family would also need the key for access.
Also, why wasn’t that their first statement? Their first excuse, was that she must have forgot that she took the box. Both of those situations would have left a paper trail.
Banks are not what they used to be. That’s just a fact.
Why does the news media always have to get involved before these establishments do the right thing??
This is exactly why the old farmers used to bury money in jars on their property can’t trust the bank😢
Chase bank "lost" a lady's box and got caught with holding evidence they knew they wrongfully deemed the box abandoned.
When a bank has clients address, e-mail and phone number, the bank do not use them to contact the client and make an appointment to close the deal. There is no responsibility. I would never ever store my belonging in a bank, except for digital account with issued debit card. And I take no loans.
No mention of a log. Every visit to the vault by every visitor or maintenance personnel is to be recorded. Signature and ID is required. Lock smiths that has business there are to be bonded, and video cameras are everywhere these days.
💯💯💯💯
always go clean out ur Box first BEFORE the bank moves
They might even inform of that either. Or maybe they did and she tose the letter away. A lot of insurance companies I assist my patients with they bailed out on them with no notice. They come to find out when they called and the the says " it's no longer in service"
..you are assuming they gave meaningful notice. It was probably in the back pages of some rag publication no one reads.
@@glow1815Yes the bank informed all of it's customers repeatedly of the move, I am one of those customers and I got notices.
It says in the video she received a letter telling her the bank was moving it. I’d call a letter mailed to your house, in your hand is a fair notice. @@78tag

They are full of s***, this lady was robbed, lets call it what it is. They got scared and gave it back. They figured she was elderly and would let it go
Yup my thought exactly
Robbed , 😢 to old lady 😢😮
...they already said it - they figured she wouldn't remember she had a security box. If and when she (or her family) figured it out the bank would declare non-liability. "It's your fault, why didn't you notify us of the problem in a timely manor?"

I'm glad this was a happy ending but they left the box at a closed branch. This is bizarre .
Not everyone believes that story. The news caster says the fact multiple people had access to box meant bank felt the contents had been removed at bank branch closing. Hey at least she got her stuff back.
Never believe the news to begin with. They tell you what they want you to hear, the truth has NOTHING to do with it.
So glad you got your items back! Thank God 🙏
While I want to say, good man for stepping up. The Bank tried to dismiss respondsibility with the statement pertaining to multiple people having access. Per their statement, it was left behind. So, it was the only one? No Bank Employee was tasked to confirm every box had been removed? Did they bother to open the door to every box in the vault? Or, were they keeping a stash of boxes, and she made enough noise, they decided it wasn't worth the hastle? Little about the Banks side of this story makes sense, it was either wilfull lack of adherence to basic safety protocols associated with the transport of Securities, or it was attempted theft.
Exactly what I was thinking! Too much from the bank's explanation doesn't add up. No matter how many family members have legal access to a box, that doesn't explain how a box was left behind by employees at all. Ridiculous!
You cant trust anyone
You have to be on guard 24/7 to protect your assets
It's amazing that anyone trusts a bank.
Use credit unions...
It isn't that we ever trusted them, they just designed the system so we have to use them. How else are the money changers going to get rich for doing nothing?
wow, the gaslighting from the incompetent bank is astounding. First, anyone breaking into my home wouldn't find my safe, let alone use my own tools to break it open. Secondly, if I'm home, they're leaving in a body bag. Banks are thieves. They no longer pay good interest to loan out our money. Then charge you if you leave your accoun dormant. What a racket.
In my state if it's dormant for 3 years, the state can legally take the money that was in the account!
...it's worse than that - you are charged for the privilege of letting them use your money. When they get around to turning everything digital, who do think is going to get charged for that effort? Guaranteed will invent a new "service charge" just like the one paid for using credit cards.
@@hollymerchant9550 - hence the "you forgot" about your security box.
@@78tag precisely my point. Thank you for wording it better. When they go digital, some of us will be forced to use cash and barter. I live in the south, so it won't be a challenge in my neck of the woods.
@BookZealots: I've used safety deposit boxes in the past but have heard horror stories of police/FBI seizing an entire vault's contents with a single box search warrant and then making innocent box holders prove they own the contents. I closed my box and purchased a TL-15 vault (TL-30 is bank grade) and secure my possessions in my home.
Oh hell no to any safety deposit boxes. They are Uninsured.
It seems as though til the very end, the bank refused to take responsibility. First they blamed her and said she may have taken it. Then they said, oh well it's because multiple family members had access to it, so that created confused. Never once did they finally just say, "Oops, we screwed up and we're going to make this right!" I get that they're still safer than home safes, but geez man, it seems as though you have no recourse if they screw up.
It is not safer.
If we ever have a crash again, you won’t have money or your assets.
NYS law requires a notary public to be present to open an expired safe deposit boxes!
Nothing was expired. The bank moved from one location to another.
Having an exposed safe is why they got his. If he had a floor safe, they never would have found it. You always put furniture over it and nobody is going to start moving furniture around in a quick robbery.
Are you serious??? If a burglar(s) wants to rob a home or business a floor safe covered by furniture isn't going to be a foolproof deterrent!!! The burglar simply has to add $10 furniture sliders to their burglar kit!!!
The majority of thefts or break-ins are committed or orchestrated by someone the victim knows personally. So anyone including a friend, family member, the construction contractor, or the clerk in the building permit office knows about the floor safe securely covered with an area rug & sleeper sofa!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
guess again. My family were builders and we put floor safes in every basement and not one was ever found and in fact, it was never disclosed until the new home owner purchased the home. After 20 years, none have been discovered after numerous robberies over the decades.@@KeleWele23
@@KeleWele23 "The majority of thefts or break-ins are committed or orchestrated by someone the victim knows personally" Got a source for this statement you are spreading as fact? Or did you just pull it out of your ass and assume it's true?
I tell you what - your most ingenious hiding spots are the first places thieves (and the govt) are going to look.
@@fictitiousnightmares Most high value burglaries are inside jobs. That fact has been true for quite some time. However, your average run of the mill thefts and break-ins are random or crimes of opportunity.
Did you take your box home & forget it? LMAO! 😂
😭🤣 They are pure grade-A assholes.
Banks are No Longer Banks, but collection houses of Fees and transactions. Since about 2000 Wirld Banking Laws, when you Open an account, that account then Belongs to the Bank. You just pay gor the access to your account. You freely and Willingly sign up for it. Credit Unions are a better option.
IRS, FBI, DEA all can go take your box for lot of reasons. You have to spend 1000's on attorney fees to get it back
Well what do you have to hide? /s
Always take pic.of what you have in them.the bank has to replace it.
The the reporter stated banks don't provide insurance. You purchase insurance on your end.
Believing in "safety deposit boxes" was her first mistake.
Less risk of fire or flood damage in a bank vault than your own home. (I know, flood risk in KS is low, but not zero.)
The bank blames multiple people had access but they had the key to the building and the responsibility to make sure every i was dotted and every t was crossed. How dare they insult this lady like they did(twice)!
Only put enough in your bank to pay your bills.
Go to your bank and try to pull out 10,000 if you have it and see how much bs you gotta go thru to get your own money
Bank branchs will typically keep only 10% of total deposits on hand, in cash. The rest is used to cover the loans they make.
@@johnpoole57 banks are for dummies
So where do you keep your money?
@@CraigC-h6b get creative lol
Never in one place. Keeping enough actual CASH on hand to pay expenses for a few months is a big part of it.
It’s such a blessing that the manager of the bank went looking for her safe deposit box, blessings to him
I put 20k in a safety deposit box at ascend and watched them lock it, and when I went back a week later to get some money out it was unlocked and looked tampered with
NEVER TRUST ANY BANK!!! KEEP AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE IN THE BANK!!!!
Any money you deposit in any account is legally the bank's money, not yours. Someday the banks are going to pull a fast one. How many trillions in debt? 35 and counting.
The system is built to screw you either way you trust the bank or you keep large amounts of cash and that’s even more risky than the bank

That bank is lying
Yup it was an employee. Guaranteed. Where is the cc footage
Banks are shady
After they left it behind, they still were trying to blame her. Shameful.
If you outright own your own home, you should have a fire/waterproof floor safe, not a wall safe or free-standing one they are easy to break into. My mother-in-law had one and when she died we had no clue to it. We found it when we went to replace the carpet in her bedroom. It was in her walk-in closet. We didn't have the combo or key for it so we had to hire a locksmith to open it. It took him almost an hour with professional tools to do it lol
Praise the Lord she got her box back!
I had a box once. Paid the fees every month by check. Went to put something in the box and found out that they had planned to drill it the next day due to non-payment. Not only did they apply my payment EVERY month to the wrong account, but they never contacted me directly nor contacted my Dad who was a co-owner when it was supposedly in arrears. After what happened in CA with the FBI confiscating boxes, I don't know that your stuff is ever going to be safe at a bank.
I’d sue them into oblivion
You’d lose. The banks have much more money for lawyers.
under a mattress, or in the ice boxes freezer?
Never never never trust a bank with your personal items.
You can't trust no banks!!
Another sign of eroding customer service. It's too much trouble now for banks to protect your belongings that you pay them to protect. They never would have cared enough to find this woman's box if the news station hadn't gotten involved.
Thanks for helping her.❤️🙏
Many years ago I got a letter from a bank where I had a safe deposit box. The letter let me know that that branch was closing and I needed to come to the bank and get the contents and move it to another branch by a certain date. Which I did. My bank would have never moved (or opened) a customer's personal papers (or whatever) unless the box was abandoned for a certain period of time or like in this case the customer failed to retrieve their items.
OMG! So much for feeling safe!
Are you not required to sign the customer and bank employee in and out when someone accesses their box?
TH-cam must have known I have been thinking of getting a safe deposit box. Guess I won’t now.
I wouldn’t trust a credit union either! They have a lot of hidden miscellaneous fees that they charge, they are very money hungry.
In some ways... THEY'RE WORSE THAN A BANK.
@@RhondaSantis-u4z you’re right, they charge 10 dollars a month when your balance goes below 500 dollars 🙄 I feel like that’s a “ poor “ tax. It’s bad enough you don’t have much money but they are kicking you while you’re down.
Great coverage...thanks for sharing!
I quit using one years ago. Now I'm so glad I did!
Also, if possible, when opening a new safe deposit box, make sure there are 2 employees present when obtaining the keys to that new box. Dual control needs to be exercised with the unrented box keys. That way, it is less likely that some employee had made duplicates of the unrented boxes.
consider also: federal seizure allows them to seize, and you have to prove the contents aren't criminally sourced.
(civil asset forfeiture-style)
Take a damn “Incident report” even if there is no proof of intent to deprive or if the P.D. says it’s a civil violation because it involves a contract/agreement between the bank and the box renter. I bet her box wasn’t the only one “left behind,” just the only one left behind that the renter discovered missing.
Surprised it wasn't the IRS helping themselves to her assets. No court order required.
Never trust anyone but yourself. This is crazy.
I’m happy she got it back
There would be paperwork either way if you just took your box. Just can't walk in and out of a bank with your safe deposit box when you feel like it you can't leave with it..banks are glorified check cashing
Someone accidentally left one box behind when they did the transfer. The bank president returned to the closed bank and found it. Picture all the boxes left open except for one. How difficult would it be to spot? Maybe it was an honest oversight - maybe not.
In my opinion only the bank should be responsible for your safe deposit box, they are liable for any content missing on it
Wow...he has about 11 similar cases. Not good.
I'm glad she got everything back.
Never have multiple people, especially families members listed to your banking.
Oh please, so the box is just somewhere in the bank, yeah right, the employee or employees was going thru people's boxes to see if there was cash, jewelry, gold...but she had papers that they couldn't use.
On their sign, the "Born of Integrity" slogan should be changed to "Born of stupidity". How freaking INSULTING of them to tell a customer to her face she must have "Forgot" taking her own box out. What the hell?
They stole her box and have all of her deeds and titles. I hope she sues.
The good news is thanks to media attention she got it back safe and sound. It was left behind in closed branch allegedly
💯
Watch the video. Lazy af
A fire proof home safe is better if you're good at hiding it.
That’s exactly where I keep the deeds to my house, car titles, etc
But houses can be burglarized. Someone can break into your house when you're not there and steal your belongings.
Banks don't let you close a box without documentation. There would have been a paper trail.
This is insane!
Just think if she had not gone to the bank to check on it for a year or two......
This makes no sense that the box was left behind. I work in banking with boxes and was involved in moving boxes to a new location years ago. It entailed many people and armored transport to do it. The entire "nest" of boxes is moved, not individual boxes. Two keys are always required to access, so you can not open and move boxes. When notified by the bank of a move, you should ALWAYS take your contents out and replace them once the move is done. Where I work currently, we have about a dozen box contents that were never claimed from the closure of our location. We never moved our boxes and required customers to come get their belongings and re-rent at other locations. Every box was checked (always in dual custody) and verified empty before we left the location. It's crazy that happened....bad banking protocol for sure!!! Glad it was found for her!!
The bank where you are employed...
Shows great integrity, as it should be...
She is a lovely woman... ❤ I'm so glad that her valuables were located & returned! 🤗
*Bank of labor* A small bank is the best way to go. The VP just gave themselves the best advertising ever. If you banked at Chase or any of the other wall st. banks If it got resolved at all would have taken months if not years.
Sounds like a bunch of B.S. by the bank !
Banks need super cameras.
I closed my accounts with Chase a decade ago. They have a history of blaming the account holder first for any problem.
I have been hearing really bad things about keeping valuables in a safe box at a bank. All the stuff I have heard, I will NEVER trust a bank with my stuff.
Every year banks charge more for services and fees and provide fewer services at a lower quality of service. It is pathetic.
Bankers and politicians.
Never trust them.
FJB
SVP did the right thing and took personal responsibility to find the missing box. Good thing the lady checked to see if contents had been moved to new location.
PS - My old bank downsized and sold the old branch to a pawnshop who started leasing out the boxes in the vault area.
I find this whole story disgusting . The worst part to me is even right up to the end that the bank blamed the woman .
I would suggest private companies that only offer safe deposit boxes, but there's that infamous case from California where the FBI took ALL the private boxes and tried to keep the contents, despite having NO PROOF of criminal activity.
It's a shame that happened, but with a lot of bank branches closing, the vaults should be put to good use.
Maybe combine the safe deposit business with a mailbox store.
I've heard of this too.
The IRS can open and take anything .
Hilarious that the bank didn't keep detailed records of where the 'safety' deposit boxes were at all times. If they're that pathetic about tracking physical boxes and not knowing who had access, imagine how bad they must be with their electronic records?
Pay the bank forever for a safe deposit box that they lost or one time pay for a home safe that you don’t lose.
David P. McGuinn, President of Safe Deposit Specialists is the expert interviewed for choosing a box and helping with recovery.
If anyone tried to look it up from the transcript and were thwarted. The vaults are safer from fire & flood than your personal abode, as well as less susceptible to physical theft (unlike admins committing digital theft every day with fees & fines...) so good for backup.
My bank was moving and I went and got my stuff out and waited for the new box, and eventually they got rid of all the boxes. Thinking about getting one at my credit union that's in a older former 60s bank and has safe deposit boxes
I wonder how many other boxes were left in the old Bank? if any I'm willing to bet they all belong to older American citizens not anyone with or considered to have a sound mind and body.
Just despicable at least we know what bank not to do business with.
As someone who worked at a bank ,some of these less commonly used products many banks dont even know the procedures with those things . Many people dont use them but unfortunately its still probably the safest option since it can be an easy win in court than lets say u leave it at home so.
Lawyer up asap
Why would you not go and empty your box when they told you they were moving your valuables?
That is precisely what I would have done. I wouldn't have trusted them to move it safely.
The contents are mine but I would think the actual box is property of the bank (just like the vault holding the boxes). They're probably quite pricey to replace as well. I just can't believe banks would allow a customer to leave with the contents and the box. It makes no sense.
About 25 years ago when my mother passed I got here safe which is decent since weighs about 250 lbs I keep all personals there I have the combo and so does my son and as far as protecting it at home I have two friends that assist me Mr Sigsaur and Mr Ruger
The cop at the Police department, says 11 similar cases , doesn’t sound right!😡😡
Remember in 2020 when everyone was in lock-down? People weren't able to access their safe deposit boxes! That was only for a short time, but what happens next time? 🤔
Dang that Chase Bank! I keep hearing what a horrible bank it is.
It depends on what type of safe you buy, any fire safe can be opened in 60 seconds. A fire safe is generally not designed to protect against thieves. Even a more robust safe can be opened with enough time.
I used a safety deposit box at Wells Fargo bank for nearly 20 years .. Every two months I would have to drive a fair distance to open it and deposit my Savings Bonds into my box .. Finally it occurred to me I was spending a lot of money each year and spending my time driving over to my branch .. I looked into getting my own safe at home .. I researched them and found one that was not only fire proof but that weighed over 500 pounds .. I didn't buy a cheap safe you see at department stores . I shopped at a safe store which also sold hunting rifles , it was a hybrid gun safe and fire proof security safe , which has 6 high quality solid steel locking bolts and quality combination lock .. it cost me over a $1,000 but originally sold for $1,500 , plus I had to pay to have it moved into my home .. But I did the math and I had spent much more renting the safety deposit box at my bank over the years .. I love the fact that it is hidden in my home and can be accessed anytime I need to ..
No, a bank is NOT the safest place.
A bank can also SEIZE
your safety deposit box if there
is a BANK RUN or CLOSURE...💔💰
How could the bank think a family member had taken the box, as they would have a record of it?
Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence.
Insulting this woman's intelligence and gaslighting her... INSIDIOUS 😡🤮🤯
They looked at all the owners of each safe deposit box on paper and selected the ones who were elderly, hoping they had died or become too senile to remember. The bank "transition" provided the perfect cover to "forget" those boxes at the old branch, wait for a period of "clearance," and then take possession of those boxes themselves.
An honest investigator needs to check that bank and see how many more boxes are "missing" and notify the next of kin.
I’ve been hearing this lately with “safety deposit boxes”? One idea: put a note in there: “Do not touch! If you’re reading this I do not want you to touch this box! I didn’t authorize any move etc!”
