I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

That's the part I don't get. All she said was to bring my backpack. I'm not sure if she's also using one or just wants mine or who is going to be carrying it. It feels weird asking that.

About the locker, I asked and she said she's the only one who has the key (and the bank of course). I asked if she thinks he might have made a copy and she said she put something to mark the box (an envelope or something) to make sure nothing in the box is moved and she'll find out if it does and nothing had been moved so he hasn't gotten around to opening the box this far which means he doesn't have the key yet.
I'll just take her word for it. She's not a dumb person and knows what she is doing normally.

What about from your side ?

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

I was talking about myself. Her family is in Pak and she moved here after she got married, so it's just her husband and in-laws (who can't be trusted) here.

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

Copies of bank locker keys cannot be made. Bank gives you two keys to the locker , my wife has both one in her key chain and the other in our home safe , if you lose any of those keys bank charges you 25 dollars or more when you return just one key if you return that locker , I know from personal experience.

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

good to know. My mom knows the whole dealio with lockers, never dealt with it myself. So she has two keys then. She did say she went to check a few days ago to make sure everything is in place and nothing had been touched.

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

Oh well, will find out soon enough :) thank you!

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

And she thinks that he does not know what is in those lockers ? As per law everything is community property in absense of a prenuptial agreement. If he has details of what is in those lockers he can get a legal order for equal division of contents of that locker. If he is up to it , it will be difficult for her to get away with this trick she is planning.

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

^What Mirch said!

Plus if his name is not on the locker than he can't access it even if he has a key. Banks check and document your id before letting you in at the safe deposit box area. Not anyone with a key can access a box unless their name is on it.

About the backpack, I don't see a point for you to be taking yours. Those lockers are not that big to contain stuff that would need two backpacks to be carried.

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

yes about the name and signature , but if he has been paying the rent of that locker then I think( not sure) the contents of that locker would be community property and he will make sure that they are distributed equally after divorce.

Re: I know it’s a long one but I need to ask…

I don’t get it. If she’s from a well-off family, then surely she can afford her own backpack? :confused:

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

^ lol.....
anyways.... our homeland tricks usually dont work over here .....
......like someone said trick with another locker aint gonna work if divorce is bound to happen ..... she needs to see a lawyer ...

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

She owns a law firm. I think she has the legal details down :/ I'd like to think so. The thing is everything is hers including the house he lives in and the car he drives. Maybe she has a way around it. It's more about her not wanting him to have anything of hers. The main reason their marriage is even falling apart is because he wants part of her dad's property etc.,
Anyway, I'll do my part i.e to be there as her friend.

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

Makes absolutely no sense as mentioned before that she's moving over a million dollars of jewelry and doesn't wanna pony up a few hundred for proper security. A true desi huh?

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

In that case she knows what she is doing , but I still think that she should use security company to move that millions of dollars worth of jewelry , it will not cost a lot to do so.

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

Put it in a Goodwill shopping bag -- ain't nobody gonna mug ya for a thriftstore bag. America is not like Pakistan -- nobody is going to be scoping you out like that. She will have privacy when she goes into the vault to check the contents of her safe deposit box. No one will see if she has taken anything or deposited anything. Relax. Bring the fiance if you like.

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

She's not paying for a security escort because that involves paperwork which divorce lawyers could trace. The whole point of this exercise is to hide all that jewelery so she has to do it herself.

By the way, it seems a little sexist doesn't it? Women marry rich guys, divorce them and receive half all the time. Why can't it work the other way around? The guy is going to get a lot, if not half, unless they had a prenup. That's why she's hiding the jewelery worth millions of dollars.

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

B******g about your friend on a public forum,questioning her intentions and then saying over and over again that we MASHALLAH are good friends....its better not to have a friend than a friend like you any day.

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

Pakista thats not a very nice thing to say. no matter how good of a friend u are of someone who will feel certain negativities based on past things that have happened. she is merely asking for points of view because her fiance has tried to make her see another perspective nad now she is questioning whether she is being taken for a ride.

there is nothing wrong with being cautious

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

If I were you, I'd tell her that I can bring the backpack but I'm not holding it after she puts her stuff in it. She can take it with her in her own car. Be honest and tell her you don't want the responsibility but you'd be there for her. Also, I don't think it's a big deal, you need to relax =)

Re: I know it's a long one but I need to ask...

Blue balls you are just being paranoid for nothing. Secondly, if i were you, i would never get myself involve in such things.
