I'm on the fence about it. The likelihood of fire or theft at my home are both very, very small. So, I may just shift what's in there to a safe place at home. I've never loved the idea of somebody else having possession of my worldly goods.
It's almost amusing. I bank here at a small branch of a national bank. The vault door is wide open with no barrier stopping anyone from walking right in (although they'd been seen doing so) and there is no security guard in the branch. Does that answer your question?

They can't get into the safety deposit boxes, it takes 2 keys none of which are in the vault. I have never heard of anyone losing anything in them except in the movies. They are safer than your home for sure.
