UNSAFE DEPOSIT BOXES

  If you're like many of us who store numismatic collections in
  bank safe deposit boxes, the following news item from the
  Associated Press will give you nightmares.

  "Safe deposit boxes from a bank branch in Hong Kong were
  taken away and crushed as scrap metal, leaving customers
  angry at the loss of their valued possessions, executives
  acknowledged Wednesday.

  Embarrassed bosses at Singapore-based DBS Bank Ltd.
  say they will repay customers for their losses after 83 boxes
  filled with valuables were removed Saturday by a contractor
  during renovations, then dumped and compressed in a
  junkyard."
