Re: Can one open almost anonymous safe deposit box?

"Are all safe deposit boxes, along with SSNs of their holders,
registered in some central Fed database? I would like to know if I can
open a safe deposit box at a bank, such that it would not be easily
findable, except by inquiring the bank where I have it (such as some
obscure bank). I want to store some lawful personal items, but in a
very private manner.

I am looking for practical answers. "
============================================
DO NOT CONFUSE BANKS with S&L's

different rules regarding probate apply.
I keep a box in an S&L and their feeling is that what is in the box is my 
business (and any other signatory) and not any other person or entity 
(feds).

advice to us: upon death of either signatory...........hurry to the S&L,
do 
not pass go and clean it out!
