This whole thread and no one has mentioned yet that the greatest security risk for your hiding spot/vault is talking about it on an online forum full of people? Really?
If you want to go the "over-engineering minecraft" route, the safest bet would be an obsidian room with a single iron door. Place this within a massive cube of obsidian (I'm thinking 100 layers out in all directions from the walls of the room) where random layers of obsidian are replaced with a shell of lava source blocks. The only safe route through this layer cake of obsidian and lava is one of several entrances to a maze in which only one correct route leads to the iron door. All the others lead to dispensers full of harming potions, sand fall traps, drops into lava, TNT, etc. The final test is the iron door itself - behind it is a 1x2 obsidian closet filled with lava source blocks and pressing the button to open the door also triggers the pistons in the last 5 blocks of the tunnel ceiling to retract and let the lava above flow down. The real entrance is to place a lever on another block known only to you where, when pulled, it will power the redstone behind the wall to open a piston door into the room.
Once you've built this monstrosity of a death trap, you hid your chest of goodies under the cobblestone block on the outside where you've placed the "stay the hell away from my stuff" sign.
Or, you know, you could use an ender chest or not play on a server full of people that steal from others.
There is no such thing. Just look at the old Unbreakable Vault thread and peruse it's many pages to see all the very good designs that were ultimately found to be vulnerable to any determined thief armed with gear and a working knowledge of game mechanics and glitches.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
