We have a long and rich history of people who have no idea about radiation finding something radioactive, taking it home, and showing everyone.

I can only imagine that some device that stays hot without any fuel would be of great interest to people who are habitually cold.

You will not find people wandering around near the summit (or in the avalanche chutes, where the device probably ended up, buried in snow and ice) of Nanda Devi in the season when even the accomplished mountaineers who left the device there considered it too dangerous to climb - this is one of the tallest and more lethal of the Himalayan peaks.
