Are bot PMCs able to loot Black Card safe through walls ?

Everything is in the title, but lemme explain why I have this thought.

It happened to me like, four times today ? That during many labs raids (in PvE), I come across PMCs who have paid a visit in Facebook (blue room), and that I meet especially in the meeting space, precisely in the farest corner (the left one) If they haven't left the room already.

Usually when I kill him (or one of them if it's a group) he always has a folder and a Bitcoin in his bag

And while it's not impossible for Facebook to have loose Bitcoins and folder (even if I never had folders as loose loot in this room but let's assume it's possible), they always have both on them, not just one or the other, BOTH. And when I go to the Black Card safe, I only find the Cardinal key and a Rolex.

And if you have opened this safe many times, you'd know that folder + 1 Bitcoin + key + Rolex is the most common combo of loot you can find in said safe

Which makes me think that bot PMCs are able to loot the safe through walls to steal the only folder and Bitcoin present inside.

I've never seen anyone talk about it so I might be completely crazy, but I dare any of you to just, try paying attention to this and see if this particular chain of events happens to you too.
