At the beginning of the first book, Gringotts Vault 713 held a small grubby bag, inside of which was the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Philosopher's Stone|Philosopher's Stone]]. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Albus Dumbledore]] sends Hagrid to retrieve it while he escorts Harry to Diagon Alley. Later that very same day, [[Muggles'someone, Guideapparently toa Harryvery Potter/Characters/Professorpowerful Quirrell|Professor Quirrell]]wizard, breaks into the vault under orders from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Voldemort|Lord Voldemort]]. Although he is unsuccessful in obtaining the Philosopher's Stone, the break-in shocks the wizarding world because it is practically unheard of for Gringotts to be robbed. The culprit is not caught, though we later learn that it was almost certainly [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Professor Quirrell|Professor Quirrell]], acting under orders from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Voldemort|Lord Voldemort]].
