..If it was locked normally, wouldn't the bandits have picked or broke the lock?
Yeah, I mean, it's not like breaking the lock doesn't have the very real possibility of ruining whatever is inside, and picking doesn't work so well with combination locks.
I doubt the bandits would have stole it, failed to open it and then just said : "We shouldn't try to open it by force, it could break what's inside."
At least, they would have wanted to see what could it have been.
