Has anyone ever heard of a situation where coins were stolen out of a
box at a bank. (I don't mean someone, like a family member, who takes
your key and steals something.)

I would like to believe this kind of action would be rare.

Someone would have to blow the fonts off the baoxes after they gasined
entry to the bank's cvault...an unlikely scenario to be sure.One needs
two keys to gain access..and the bank only has one!


Just from cable TV true crime programs:

There was a major safe deposit box vault robbery at a NYC hotel. Personnel
and a few guests were tied up...

There was a safe deposit box vault robbery in the Midwest where the robbers
were skilled in construction and they took a few nights working their way
in...

There was a bank robbery including safe deposit vault robbery in Europe
where the robbers walked in and stood off with the police. They later left
by way of a previously dug tunnel...

There was a safe deposit box vault robbery in Europe where the robbers

The boxes are opened with hammers, screwdrivers, and prybars...

And often in history forts fail while logistics succeed. So a bank may have
a billion dollars in deposits but that billion dollars is not in the
vault...
