The comic plays on the idea that geeks and nerds will try to break into high-security areas in order to challenge themselves, instead of to steal things. The vault is labelled "unpickable" as a kind of challenge to break into it, while all the valuables are simply stored in a shoe box. Since the vault is unopenable, nerds and geeks would spend all their time on the vault and ignore the seemingly useless shoe box.
