Do you think Bitcoin has reached so far that one have to steal the cryptocurrency physically?

Same thing happened in 1849 and again when paper was introduced... any new money will be the target of criminals.
Except the old timers of 1849, if you stole from someone, you'd get killed... government still usign the same old coups to gain control.
