This is why you want your gold as only your liability.

Re: Not-So-Safe Deposit Boxes

Britain has become an over governed, over regulated, over securitized nightmare of a police state.

[Most of the money, said the Met, was 'the proceeds of armed robberies and international drug trafficking'.] - well now? Really? was the cash marked as such or was it just cash- It was Cash for goodness sake and the police would have absolutely NO idea of its origins. What the Hell else would you keep in a safety deposit box except cash, valuables and jewelry - Used condoms or sea shells?.

It ends up only 10% of the boxes held assumed 'tainted' property. A Majority of the owners would have gladly opened the boxes to assist as long as they where present for the inspection but I guess asking permission just wasn't as much fun as smashing up the place in a Testosterone fueled power rush.
Britain a Free and Democratic Country? - Yes I could imagine it may one day make steps toward that if it could wrestle away the powers of the Nanny/Police State it has currently become.

Actually, since deposit rates are zero, I think I will start parking my cash in a safety deposit box just to piss off the banksters (the amazing returns being the same anyway).

what's the diff between this guy and bankers stealing $$$?

the bankers didn't have to lay down and get taken in. instead, they got rescued.

Well, at least the Brits have National Health Care, right? And if you're not guilty and trying to hide something, why would you mind?

That was funny MM.

What say you if I simply follow your advice instead:

keep a piece of paper in as many bank safety boxes I can find with the following note: "F$%& You [the Gold is elsewhere]"?

Sure, as long as you get all your stuff back, when you need it. Oh, and I hope you don't mind genuflecting as you fork over whatever is deemed contraband by a bunch of crooks who have already taken trillions. That doesn't even touch on the privacy issues.

May I warn everyone: "Anything you say here might be used against you in a court of law." Every keystroke of info you type here becomes part of the one-septillion bits of information on the internet, all of which is scanned by governments.

One septillion = 1x 10^24 = one trillion trillions = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits of information, all scanned at the speed of light by government security agencies in many countries.

But you haven't lived life to the fullest yet until you experience your first money laundering audit by the IRS. Those are fun.

I don't think government hates coin collectors or gold bugs, but they want to know everything about what you have and what you do with your gold. Questions like who you deal with and what you paid for gold coins, your system of accounting, why you collect gold, where you sell gold, what records you keep, how you live, why you stay in business, what govn't authorities regulate you, who checks your records, what licenses you hold, etc.--- all are what the govn't wants to know.

Yes, this is how nazism begins: The government makes it its business to know everything there is to know about you, especially if you love gold. Naturally, your safe deposit box is of great interest to government.

I was thrown out of my first bank back in 1961, because I was a coin collector back then. "We don't allow coin collectors in this bank," and the bank manager and bank tellers actually booted me and my friend out of the bank!

Running up against the IRS is much the same old fight as back when I was a kid, collecting rare date silver dollars in the banks of San Jose, California. If you are not a brain-dead robot, playing the losers' game with paper money in a normal bank account, you stand-out.... Not much has changed, except apparently that government "authorities" can now break into your safe deposit box in a bank and actually cease your gold and collectables--- at least in the U.K.

Step-by-step, this is how nazism begins.

Privacy, schmivacy. As long as it's for the greater good, eh?
