Well yeah, that was why I said she may be able to open it, she still can't find it since the inside is it's own pocket dimension. When commiting a bank heist that has locked boxes in the safe, and you're are looking for a specific locked box, opening the safe is one thing. Finding the locked box is an entirely different matter.

Then there is the matter of whether or not Ozpin left Decoy's. Using 73.Anon's Holy Grail anology, lets assume Ozpin left several decoys in the Vault, but they look identical to the real thing. The only way Cinder would be able to tell which one is the real one is through Salem. And since its implied only one person can enter the vault at a time, I doubt Cinder could bring a Seer in with her. So she'd have to lug the suspected Relic out of the Vault and show it to Salem, ad infinitum, or ad however many fakes are in there. When hiding a Needle, you don't hide it in a hay stack, you hide it in a needle stack.
