Forensic experts cover themselves completely, including a face mask and hood, so they don’t pollute a scene. They’re not there in full glam.
No, there isn’t an alert for when your computer system is under an attack. It would go off constantly because every script kiddie is trying an attack 24/7. There also isn’t an alert for when the firewall is penetrated because the whole point of the penetration is that you wouldn’t detect it and they can quietly steal data.
Stealing gold instead? It weighs a lot. That gold bar you’re casually carrying between your finger tips actually weights as much as a reasonable big dumbbell. (16 oz bottle / half liter of gold weights very roughly as much as 2.5 gallon / 10 liter of water or 20 pound / 10 kg)
And every time people are casually thrown into walls. Meanwhile people go to the hospital after a bit of a bad fall when cleaning the gutter.
The thrown into a wall thing had a nice subversion in Dragon Prince, mostly a kids show. A primary character, a knight, is batted by a dragon into a rock before being chased off. As they finish, they go to check on him, and he’s been permanently paralyzed from the neck down.
Indications were he shouldn’t have recovered; and he was surprisingly positive, showing resilience to his disability and thinking about how he might continue life as a poet.
But, his sister, a dark mage, was far more mortified about it than he was, and made a magical sacrifice, killing some creature and draining her own lifespan - to restore his full motion. All of this, without asking his permission. He turns out okay, but there’s an implication he shouldn’t have.
So yeah, it’s part of a dramatic arc in that story.
They said they wanted kids shows to have representation for the physically disabled. Now they’re pissed I gave him a backstory? Guess they just wanted a background character as a token.
Interestingly, $100s are still a bit less valuable per unit weight at $100/g, versus gold at about $134/g, but that’s only been since about March of this year.
Gold does have other advantages, like being much less bulky, and can be readily melted into untraceable units.

The wall thing is even more stupid when the setting is Europe and the wall wouldn’t give in even a tiny bit

…did he get better?!
Funny story.

One of us doesn’t know what the word permanently means
Actors holding gold bars always make me laugh
Imagine them putting a gold bar in one of their empty cups and just waving it around dramatically.
Thanks for the laugh, I needed that!

but can I do some blow through a gold bar?
Gold is highly malleable, you definitely can with some effort.
Sure can!
