Gold gets stolen all the time. Most people only keep it in the form of jewelry, but almost everyone knows several people who&#x27;ve had someone break into their house and steal it. (People who keep gold as a stash of wealth generally don&#x27;t have it in their physical possession.) I&#x27;d argue there are probably thousands of instances of gold theft for every one of bitcoin.<p>It&#x27;s just not much of a story. Bitcoin is new and interesting, gold isn&#x27;t.
