A savings box shaped like a safe is pictured in front of wall safes at Hamburger Stahltresor GmbH in Hamburg March 5, 2009. Demand for safes in Germany has grown sharply since the financial crisis began, according to Der Spiegel news magazine. Safe merchants in Germany, which reeled from hyper-inflation in the 1920s, have reported a 30 percent increase in sales to private customers since about October. REUTERS/Christian Charisius (GERMANY)
