I'm watching a program called Everest, on Outdoor Life Network, and one of the oddest things they show is that there is a team of climbers near the top of the mountain, waiting to do the “final push” towards the summit. They wake up, to discover their oxygen tanks have been stolen...

Excuse me? You are camping at the top of Mount Everest, and in the middle of the night there's a theft? I wonder how frequently that happens. Maybe a full oxygen tank is worth more than gold up there?
