Safe As Banks
83 - count them - 83 safety deposit boxes from a DBS bank in Hong Kong were accidentally sent to the crushers and scrapped, contents and all. Wouldn't you love to be one of those customers sitting down with the manager afterwards, detailing exactly what irreplaceable family heirlooms and valuables were kept in your safety deposit box and just how much the bank subsequently owes you for its admitted incompetence?
Of course, knowing the sort of things that some people hide in their safety deposit boxes, there're probably one or two relieved customers out there as well.

Ah yes, the stuff that dreams are made of! But really, how do you lose 83 safety deposit boxes! I feel sorry for the poor person who said "Yes, all 83 of them have to go!"
It is suspicious, though, isn't it, that the removalists couldn't distinguish between empty old deposit boxes, and ones that weren't?
"Hey, this one's rattling. Must be something in it."
"It's just roaches. Chuck it in the crusher."
