Because the money in the vault is insured.
Funny story, I have a friend who works in a smelting plant (they melt precious metals), they stamp all the gold/silver/etc bars they make so no-one could sell them without the paper work (unless they know someone on the black market who owns a smelting plant).
Well the armored truck who was to take a shipment to NYC flipped over in Ohio and the company never called the plant to tell them it wasn't going to show up.
One of the guards offered to drive it (about 12 grand) to NYC in his truck pointing out if its stolen it can't be sold and no one would expect his truck to have 12 grand in the back! The idea was shot down of course by the boss and the plant now contracts with a different armored truck company.
