Bank With No Locks Opens: 'God As Guard'

Bank With NO LOCKS Opens

A bank with no locks has opened in Mumbai, India, to serve the devotees of a deity named Lord Shani, The Times of India reports.

The bank is a branch of the United Commercial (UCO) Bank and has opened in a small village called Shani Shinganapur.

A senior bank official told the Times: "We took note of the general belief and faith of the people. Ever since the most revered temple came into existence several years ago, the village has not witnessed a single crime. In fact, all houses in the entire village have no doors. We took the risk and started the lockless bank a week ago."
