From the NYTimes.com: Locked Up: Sales of Safes Grow as Economy Slides
Afraid cash isn’t secure even behind the thick walls of banks, more people are turning to something that’s protected money since the days of Jesse James and Bonnie and Clyde: safes.
The metal vaults are so popular in some parts of the country that shoppers are depleting store supplies as worries about the nation’s economy spread.
The stock market is bad, but there are plenty of safe places to put your money besides a safe in your house. Unless you’ve bought a stash of gold coins, a bank is still a safe place to put your money because of the FDIC insurance. If that fails, the American government would have failed and it won’t matter anyways, because your cash will be worthless.
