I just wanted to get this theory out while the opportunity presented 
itself.

I've always assumed that Sirius had a second, secret vault that he 
could access. It makes sense if he was going to go into hiding when 
the Potters did to have an unknown and untraceable account just in 
case some of Voldy's spies had their eyes on the banks.

But you know what happens when you assume. You make an ass out of you 
and who?
