  And the fact that warehouses are robbed, eighteen wheelers are robbed, trains are robbed, etc shows that it is indeed practical to steal literal tons of goods. Practical and common, however, are not the same... (I'll also point out that in my comment I said: is it the same difficulty to steal 1TB as 1MB? I never said it was impossible, just drawing a distinction).

We can point to outliers that I admitted exist in my original statement all day long. Even more fun: my example is temporally relevant :)
