Background

The only major investment made by the members of the International House of Crime was in a series of capital expenditures. In the home city of each member of the original club, a Chinese laundry was purchased and a legitimate chain of businesses, the International House of Clothing, was established. Within each, a small room with a strong vault was built. Each of these serves as a highly secure, well hidden safehouse for members of the International House of Crime.

Quote About the Base
"A sophisticated crime club as the International House must have safehouses. If we can find them, perhaps we can catch these thieves." - Pedro Hernandez, Captain of Europol's Task Force on International Theft
Powers
The computers installed have information that help in the planning of heists. The Vaults are nearly unbreachable (even to superhumans) places to store valuables before they can be laundered.
Appearance

Almost always The Vault is a secure room behind the machinery of a Chinese laundry. The entry door itself looks a lot like a large steam press.
