Fool's Gold
Japanese museum leaves $1.7M worth of gold on display, unprotected, so people can "touch it," pinch it.

 

A museum in the central city of Takayama left a 220 pound gold bar on display, unprotected, so people could feel it. Now a group of 3 men apparently can feel what it's like to have $1.7M worth of gold. "The gold was lugged past an employee alerted by the noise, down a staircase and out of the museum where the three men were driven away by a fourth accomplice."
