Good luck finding a missing 10 pounds of plutonium. You would be better off trying to photograph secret alien aircraft in Area 51.

Even one pound of missing plutonium would cause massive evacuations and would loudly advertise itself. The stuff is that well monitored first and foremost because it would kill many if simply misplaced. Again, it is in fiction books that terrorist happens to stumble on even one pound of plutonium hidden on a back road.
