Shit, they got stolen.  Ooh, shiny physical Bitcoins!  See, just read the number right here where it says, "Casascius"-- I mean, "Casacius"-- wait...

Getting bitcoins stolen off an anonymous bank... predictable.

Getting bitcoins stolen off your machine by hackers... predictable.

I did release an open-source paper-wallet generator... and if you use it, your risk of theft is pretty much eliminated.  If you look hard at the code, maybe there will be a typo somewhere in there too.  But it still works.  You will just have to protect yourself from thugs who use rubber-hose methods to take the paper from your hands.
