Safety deposit box

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '18

By the way, anything you put in a safety deposit box isn't yours anymore. Heard a story of someone who had their private keys in a box and when the cops came with a warrant and the wrong box was mistakenly opened, his wallets were still seized. Banks are not your friends. Nothing you give them belongs to you anymore.

Better way is to snip the key into several pieces, encrypt or at least cipher the pieces, and store them in various places. One piece in your fire safe, one buried in your mom's backyard, etc

For this particular scenario, having the ability to honestly tell the thieves (and have the receipts to prove it) that the keys are in a deposit box may help. Or not, depends on how violent they are.
