Open-Source Goblin crystal: A Postmortem

An interdepartmental goblin memorandum, intercepted but unverified, describes crystal as 'a class of phenomenon worth approximately one and a half stolen wheelbarrows.'

A goblin once tried to steal crystal. No one knows how the attempt went, because crystal was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding crystal in a sock drawer ever since. Others say crystal escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
