When federal agents descended on a Beverly Hills strip mall last month, it took them five days to seize the contents of hundreds of safe deposit boxes inside a store called U.S. Private Vaults.
“I would just be very surprised if a judge had approved a warrant that would allow the FBI to go through every single box absent evidence that the entire system was corrupt,” she said. “Maybe they have the evidence, and that’s the thing we don’t know.”
"We don't even want to know your name," it advertised, according to prosecutors.

What business is of the government?
If I do not beg for a return on my personal property it becomes government property?
That’s kind of a great idea for a business. Selling four foot long deposit boxes.
I know of a long established business such as this out of state. Family owned for decades. I’ve seen cases of bullion being carried about for anonymous storage.
I can only imagine the wealth that the fedgov pilfered from this LA business and its highest customers.
This is wrong on many levels.
—”That’s kind of a great idea for a business. Selling four foot long deposit boxes.”
I can fit inside of 58 inches with my EV battery prototype, but it needs a skosh more for padding, so as not to scratch anything.
In the March 9 indictment that was unsealed Friday, a federal grand jury charged U.S. Private Vaults with three counts of conspiracy — to launder money, distribute narcotics and structure cash transactions to dodge detection. None of the people who are allegedly behind the operation were named in the court records. It is was not immediately clear whether any individuals will face criminal charges as well.
Translation, company indicted to allow government to seize assets that may be involved in a crime. Now then, if you want to get your stuff back, you mush make an application to the court in effect proving you are not a crook. Won’t be long before they arrive at our homes looking for guns IMO.
I got everything out of my safety deposit box and will never use one again. How easy is it for valuables to disappear? Forever? If the Feds can do this.
Better to keep them at home guarded by a police dog and pit bull and a .357.
This is crazy! I am so sorry that you have been victimized by this kind of nonsense.
Mason jars in the ground....keep it simple stupid (KISS rule.) They gained legal traction with the undercover agent who obtained the initial evidence to lead to the warrant’s....personally I keep what I consider valuable in what I consider secure spots...Retna scans and fingerprint to access your box ...all of that is in the governments hands now....They know who owns what ...databases have been building since early 2000’s....(watch “Minority Report)
I rented a building from a gentleman that was a political heavyweight in the area, and a very nice guy.
He had a fatal heart attack, not exactly unexpected.
His wife later told me that she stopped at the bank on the way home from the hospital after he died to collect his birth certificate and other papers she thought may be needed.
The safety deposit box was ALREADY SEALED BY THE STATE!!!
This was in Illinois the home of 'Paul SHOEBOXES Powell', the Secretary of State, who died and had about a million dollars cash in shoeboxes in his closet.

“it took just an eye and hand scan to unlock the door.”
Unless it’s a really old fashioned system, they can probably get fingerprints from hand scans. They will identify people that way. Suspects will be compelled to submit to an eye scan. All this will do is make criminals get better at hiding stuff out in the desert.
“I got everything out of my safety deposit box and will never use one again.”
I didn’t think they even had them anymore.

Pls do not say much about this event, hopefully, the jamoke feds will not realize that they have found my infinite refill battery and sell it to the scrap man.
I drove my elderly mother around town a couple of years ago and she kept pointing to banks where “Dad had Safety Deposit Boxes” - I didn’t pay much attention at the time.
When my mother died in 2019, I told my brother about this experience- he called every bank in town and not a one of them had a safety deposit box in either my mother or father’s name - father died in 1999.
My mother was sharp as a tack until the day she died - and we’ll always wonder about what happened to those boxes.
If a Calif legal gun owner stores his legal gun in a vault in Beverly Hills, I’ll bet he has violated the law.
Is the vault on Calif DOJ list of approved gun safes?
How does the owner know if the gun is still there, to report it stolen within 5 days (I think)?
How does he carry it in and out in public, legally?
I mention all this just to show the problems of gun owners in Calif, not to justify any of these laws.
And if you break one of these laws and become a felon, then you lose all your guns, shazam.
My grandmother did this to hide the change she earned selling egg - we have no idea what happened to them, a couple of them were left when she died.
We believe my mother did the same thing - we sold her house last year after she died and have a feeling there were a number of mason jars buried in the yard with cash and coins.
—”Mason jars in the ground....keep it simple stupid (KISS rule.) “
My best friend went through a very nasty divorce and she claimed big bucks were buried in the back yard!
Her lawyer wanted a court order to dig!
My buddy said the attorney did not understand the papers provided to the court, he owns a successful business.
He showed me the papers if you do not have your very own green-eyeshade; unlikely you can read them correctly.
Back in my metal-detecting days, I'd read of guys who worked the fence lines of old abandoned farms, etc. with their detectors. They said that after the Depression, a lot of people still distrusted banks, so they saved their bucks in "post hole banks".
They'd take a fencepost and cut a foot off the bottom, put their money in an old cast iron Dutch Oven, put it in the hole with the shortened post on top - nobody the wiser.
Dunno if it is an Urban Legend, as I never had the chance to find out- I was in California and they were talking about the midwest.
—”number of mason jars buried in the yard with cash and coins.”
Back around 1960 my mother’s brother told her to save the silver coins ( before they changed them).
My parents did exactly that and had jars and jars of them.
The top of the refrigerator was covered and more on lower shelves...
Unfortunately, her brother passed and never fully explained what to do with the silver coins?
Our father was long passed when our mother died in 1998.
Our sister the executor of the estate could not find any coins. Everything else of value was in place?
A gaggle of young grandchildren lived nearby and visited often.
We think she gave them a handful of coins each time they visited???
OH WELL!
