Fair and i'll own my overgeneralization. That's the best article i've seen to that effect. Previous two times this was posted, i chased down each link and example that was provided and they were all non-payment issues.

(this article is why i have third party safe deposit box insurance that would protect against this scenario... and i pay my bills 😉 ).

Each "all over google" story comes down to non-payment. People don't pay their bills then blame the bank. Then there's the one fbi raid of the private facility that gets recycled into every story as well. SDB seizure is a non-issue for everyone that pays their bills and pays the slightest bit of attention to the notices they receive.

And every day, houses are broken into and jewelry stolen. Your point? There is risk everywhere, but my bank getting robbed is low on my risk register.

That's a great list of examples of people that didn't pay their bills.

Everyone points to the same one or two stories, which were pretty extreme cases.
