  Hopefully the key is there with it.

    People didn't encrypt wallets, back in the day.

      Sure, but wouldn't you need the key to sign a transaction to move/use the coins?

        A bitcoin wallet is just a collection of private keys.

          And that's why it's so important to encrypt them. And for wallets controlling huge amounts, to keep them offline. Air-gapped, I mean.

        That's part of the wallet.
