Where do you keep your money - in a bank or in your safe deposit box?

Most of us keep our money in a bank for security reason. But maybe some of us keep money in our own safe deposit box at home. My late father has bad experience with depositing a large amount of money in the bank. His money was gone and there is proof that his money was stolen from his account by the bank's staff. Now, we are pursuing legal action for the bank concern. Not all banks is like that only some. So, do you keep your money in the bank or prefer to put it in the safe deposit in the house?

Incredible! What kind of banks do you have there? here if you deposit money and someone of the staff stole your money the bank charge back the money! It is not safe having money at home in a "safe" (safe???) deposit box!

All kinds of bank. But this one particular bank has a reputation of 'stealing' their customers money, especially elderly people. It so happen that one of their victim was my late father.

I would have to say I am a bank person as well, but with a difference, as I use several banks to keep buiness and personal banking separate (this practise goes without saying, Im sure many do it), but also I use two banks accounts in the USA but I live in the UK, the reson for this is it gives me two USD (united states dollar) accounts which are very useful to have regardless of where you live in this world.
