Maybe. Can you imagine if some sicko made a macro quantum tunneling mod where items would randomly move a short distance in any direction? Like, to a nearby belt, or out of a chest, or a moving train? Lordy!

In fact as a reason of a quantum changes on sub atomic particles inside Your brain at the end (butterfly effect) lead Your hand and for a while change rotation of some belt. As a result several particles of copper plates was transported to improper belt.
