Re the above discussion, you pay for the safety deposit box by the year, right?

Therefore, during the course of that time period, the box is yours, it is not the bank's box.

Obviously, during hours when the bank is not open for business, you have no access to your box, however you knew that, didn't you?

Absent endangering the health and safety of the general public, no right to do that exists for the individual, the story with large corporations might be different, you can put anythng in your box that you like. The bank has no knowlege of your box's content, unless you tell them.
