Maybe they could have noticed it was made of plastic?

hmmm knew their way around well enough to find the right tools in somebody elses shop ….. I have a difficult enough time finding my way around my own shop, let alone somebody elses. Somebody had to have known the layout very well.

Right, Randy. It must have been an inside job. The kid that owned it probably forgot the combination and tried to break into it himself. I wonder where he spend the plastic gold doubloon and the 3 Disney dollars he found inside.
