I too had the same problem & had made audit recommendations for 4 consecutive yrs. Suddenly a "career criminal" came to to case the bank & saw how lax the controls were. Strictly by coincidence, the SDB he chose to rob was the one containing securities we held in safekeeping for our customers. With bonds & coupons attached, his take was $7.2 mil. The FBI captured him a year later but, in the meantime, he'd hit 5 other banks...that we know of. He's doing life in Levenworth now & there are some bank employees who will never forget being under suspicion by law enforcement, management & their fellow employees.
It's all public knowledge now so if you want to contact me I'll give you all the sorted details.
Luckily for me, I had issued audit reports to management about the lack of security so my --- was covered. INSIST THOSE KEYS BE PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES.
