I think you are onto something there.  I wonder if the diary was the 
horcrux left in Hogwarts since he "preserved his 16 year old self."  
Gringotts is intrguing.  After all, the goblins don't strike me as the 
kind that would jump up and say, "OOOh, he has a vault here and it's 
number 666!  Here let me show you!"  He could not walk in the front 
door, but it has been broken into before.  This certainly is an 
interesting possibility, IMO.
