I recently started storing a ziplock bag full of baking soda with the word "Cocaine" marked on the bag in marker.
Several recent news stories of various banks stealing safe deposit box contents to auction them have scared me. The banks make no effort to find the owners of the box as its in their best interest to not to. Many of us store thousands of dollars of cash in safe deposit boxes as well as gold bullion. It would be financially devastating to find my box drilled and raped by the bank.
If they open my box and find a potentially illegal substance, it will spark a criminal investigation. The FBI will find me, and return my items as part of their investigation. It will also keep the box free of unpleasant odors.
That's actually a somewhat clever idea, but you might want to have a bit of a chat with a lawyer first. You might be charged with something like distribution of a fake controlled substance. It's very unlikely, but do you really want to find out the hard way that this was a bad idea?

You take a can of old school shaving cream and freeze it... When frozen, take out and cut top off... Place in someone's trunk or drawer in office... Shaving cream thaws and well you can imagine...
Ok what if the guy who busts into your deposit box is a coke head, decides to snort or worse inject himself with the baking soda, gets himself in some medical problem, and then the ambulance chasers will be lining up to sue you on behalf of the "grief-stricken" family

if they see gold and lotsa cash, will they not throw away your "coke" and get on with selling your stuff?
what if the bank tries to sell your "COKE" around the street corner?
p.s. name it talcum or all purpose flour....that will make it more suspicious than naming it 'cocaine'. naming it cocaine will be a giveaway.
Green for the laughs
