Alternatives to a safe deposit box in a bank. [View all]

My bank was recently taken over and I got a letter stating in effect, "We're closing the branch where you rent a safe deposit box. Come get your stuff before we throw it out."

I'd like a secure place off-site to store a (very) small amount of stuff, but banks really bug me these days. I think that they believe (quite correctly) that they're above the law. I really don't want to be putting my valuable stuff (such as it is) in the hands of money launderers, embezzlers, bunko artists, and casino operators running crooked games.

Anyone know any good alternatives, other than a home safe?
