Good question, especially since over the years I worked at a bank, it seemed more than every other box had loose coins in them (you could hear them slide taking the boxes out for the client).
Banks in the US auction off something that is the property of an estate?
"When piddly little fees go unpaid, and we are too lazy or too stupid to investigate the proper owner of the contents, we steal it and auction it off to buffoons"
So true. I am very glad that Canada's few banks are well regulated. I feel safe using a safe box here. I wouldn't feel nearly as safe using one in the USA.
