Suppose I put a lump of gold bullion in the middle of the street, put 
three traffic cones around it, and erect a sign saying "do not remove 
this object".

If (??!?) somebody steals my lump of gold, can I take them to court and 
realistically expect to get a conviction? Or does the fact that I made 
absolutely no serious attempt to protect my property invalidate such an 
action?
