Safes and Safe Deposit Boxes

Olivia, so Hawaii doesn't have hardwood or tile floors? Carpeting? Bamboo flooring? Not even a rubber mat or a couple of throw rugs? Walking on such floors must be pretty darned uncomfortable!😁
The issue of basements doesn't apply - I know of lots of homes in various states that don't have basements. That has nothing to do with a safe.

I can see you still don't understand what a floor safe is.
But, that's okay.🙂

No, you don't understand. Yes, I have tile floors and floors covered with carpet. Underneath those floor covers is a cement floor. Yes, the issue of basements doesn't apply except to explain that houses are built over lava rock and cement slabs. At this point I really don't care about what you care about safes hidden under floors. And you obviously didn't read to the end of the article, which makes me care even less. This is just a plain stupid argument and I am sorry I even got involved in it.
 
We have a SD box for important original documents, most jewelry, and the most recent backup of my computer hard drive,. Since wills and trusts are of no value to anyone outside of the family, we also have copies of those in the house and on my computer. Theft is less an issue than misplacing them or having them damaged in a fire or flood.

I wish it were free! It's $140 a year, and as was pointed out earlier, fewer and fewer banks offer them.
 
I don't have anything that would attract a skilled burglar.

I use an old asbestos-lined fireproof box to keep a few documents in but nothing that couldn't be replaced with a little work and aggravation on my part.

I hide cash in various places that a novice burglar would not be likely to think about. I think about the poor geeks that will have to clean out my apartment someday, I hope they find it and have the good sense to put it in their pockets and keep quiet.

Not arguing here either, just a question.

Have you ever called to inquire ,[about the safes] or is this something you absolutely know ?
 
Just rented a safe deposit box a week or so ago. It contains the ashes of my late wife, and our two fur kids, some paperwork, and some things that belonged to my late daughter. When my time comes, it will be up to my son/grandsons to retrieve the ashes and take them and mine back to the Punalu'u Black Sand Beach in Hawaii.
 
We have a SD box and have been cleaning it out. The last thing I pulled out was a 50 oz. bar of pure silver that I bought on impulse almost 40 years ago after several beers. It took all of that 40 years to double in value, but it did serve as a fairly good doorstop in one apartment I rented. It added some serious weight to our SD box.
 
I don't really need a safe deposit box. I don't have any jewelry, and all my "important" papers can safely be stored online. My money stays in the bank, I use plastic for everything. One of the things I've always wondered about was the people, who do keep jewelry in their SDB. They have to keep running back and forth to the bank every time they wanted to wear them?????
