LEV51 Someone who denies that he was given an object for safe keeping is, in essence, denying God. Rabbi Akiva said, "The Torah considers denial of the claim a trespass against the Lord. The person who deposits something with his fellow man does not want other people to know about it; he wants the matter to remain between the two of them and God. Therefore, when the recipient of the object denies that he received it, he denies God." (Toras Kohanim cited by Rashi).
