Our banker called the other day and said Chase is getting rid of our complimentary safe deposit box (and likely eliminating all of them soon) so Andy and I went to the bank to clean ours out and hand over our keys. We acquired the box in June 1991 so kudos to is for knowing where both keys were after almost 34 years.) We did have a $10 deposit on the keys but we're not expecting to get that back.
Here we are inside the vault. We had the box for long it was an ordeal to close it - they had to create a new contract for us, get us to sign that, check our IDs, then had us sign a paper to close it out, checking our IDs again, typing in a PIN that I had to create as part of the new contract. It took a lot longer than we had anticipated.
We didn't have much in the box. It has everyone's birth certificates ...
our marriage license (interestingly, signed by our maid of honor and best man, but not us), one of our engagement pictures and all of our wedding negatives ...
and all of my sorority pins, as well as my class ring and mom's class ring. We were thinking of getting a fire- and waterproof box to store the documents in at home but we figured they all (except the wedding negatives, of course) would be pretty easy to replace if something happened to them.
