Wrench attacks happen all the time.

Usually it is for money, jewelry, credit card pins your car...

I think the difference with BTC is that it is quite possible for someone to have quite a large stash on board...

Hmm, yeah things like these only happen to people who are not careful with their privacy. You can't expect to let the whole world know what you are doing, and how much money you earn and own, and then roam around free without having any security even at your house. The world we live in is a shithole, and you can't expect nothing to happen if you are doing all these things without any worries thinking no one would notice or do anything.

You can't even roam around your city having a few thousand dollars in your pocket if you know either you are famous or you have let people know you are rich and you have money. If strangers, or even people you know personally, know about your finances and financial situation, they would use any opportunity to rob the hell out of you.
