But not by hackers!
Someone reported the first theft of four physical bitcoins in a recent burglary.
Oh I forgot to mention out of the first batch of coins I purchased I had given a few away, 4 of them had been physically stolen in a burglary, the guys had been later caught and some of the items recovered, jewelry etc,, but no bitcoins not sure if they got spent/sold or what
I find it novel to point out that this is about the only way physical bitcoins can be stolen... same as cash.
The four physical bitcoins are active and legitimate, so nobody needs to worry about their own coins being at risk.

Not really, casascius could theoretically have the private keys. Never trust that he doesn't because there's no good reason to - only use your own generated addresses, print them out on paper if you please.
