"Anyway, Hugh, what Recorder of Deeds office have you ever been in where
thee deeds are locked in a vault? Deeds are in huge ledger books out on the
stacks, and anyone can go through them for as long as they want."

The vault may be bigger than you think.  Way before I joined the RIM
profession I did work that took me into land records offices as part of my
duties.  I remember the entry way to the land records office in the county
courthouse (here in Maryland) where I grew up, and still live in the same
general area (one county over) had a vault door.  Yes, the whole suite was
apparently protected.

On the other hand the courthouse was expanded, the new wing opened in 1991,
and in 2004 the old wing was destroyed in a massive fire.  The land and
criminal records had been moved to the new section and the and the first
order of business for the firefighters was to defend the passages between
the wings to prevent the fire from spreading from the old wing, then vacant
and undergoing renovation, to the new wing.
