Mine is definitely not riskier than a bank box. You claimed that "It happens to as many people hoarding gold as those keeping it in a bank" but I couldn't disagree more. I'd say it happens once or twice a year to people at home (who aren't as careful as I am) but hundreds of times every month for various reasons to safety deposit boxes somewhere. If for no other reason than simple bank robberies.

Do you have stats to back up your claim?

I'm not a voter, by the way.
