    In the case of the main subject of the article, the bank opened his box, inventoried it, then returned less items to him than what they originally inventoried.

    That isn’t really in dispute. When Wells Fargo employees opened Mr. Poniz’s box, they created an inventory that included 92 watches. When workers at the bank’s storage facility in North Carolina counted the items, they listed only 85. Also missing were dozens of rare coins that were listed in the first inventory, but not the second.

    True, but the missing items happen to be worth quite a considerable sum. Others in the article were missing multiple, and very expensive articles. Claims are easier to prove with evidence in the form of receipts, photographs, appraisals, police reports etc.

    Not trying to judge anyone’s credibility but sometimes the worst of human nature takes over.
