The ways contents could be taken from boxes - not legitimately.
1) A bank employee, by whatever means (some we probably don't know about)
2) National economy implodes, Fed Gov decides (again) that all privately-held gold should be sold to them so, they create the legal means to inspect the boxes. (Pls don't go off on this one, folks. Not likely, but not impossible)
3) Drills (who needs keys?). With my branch, it would be quite easy for 2 experienced bank robbers to have a ready sign to place in the front door window: Temporarily closed for water repairs - Open tomorrow. I doubt any customer wanting to enter would think anything of it. Then, one guy keeps the employees contained and the other one drills the boxes.
4) The above scenario but, instead of drilling they threaten the manager to use whatever master means the bank has for opening the boxes.

There are probably more ways. But, IMO, the point is there are ways and it's worth people thinking about b/c everyone's risk tolerance is different AND, if the robbers are any good, you will never see those contents again. GONE...

You have been watching too many movies.
