Can anyone suggest any plausible reason why the above would not be
true?

Of course. It's inherently implausible that anyone who goes to the trouble of hiding his stash of whatever it is so securely away won't have taken an equal amount of trouble to be sure he can retrieve it. The (correct) presumption will therefore be that he's lying through his teeth.
