Crypto Heads

Previously I thought this money was locked away, now it seems missing.

Is this a danger for anyone holding crypto currency, can you suddenly find out the person you put your wallet with or whatever is gone?

From what I've read yes and there are lots of stories of brokers being hacked and having coins stolen.  Unfortunately the nature of crypto currency seems to make it exceedingly hard to prove if someone is holding stolen currency and to get it back.
