The clock in New Orleans would get stolen.

False... it would run slower in an environment with less gravity...
That’s not right LINK
The higher the gravitational potential (the farther the clock is from the source of gravitation), the faster time passes.
..
Relative to Earth's age in billions of years, Earth's core is effectively 2.5 years younger than its surface.

According to the linked article
Not that I give 2 shits, but I can't help but discount the results of any experiment that comes up with a measurement that is this minute. 90 billionths of a second variation over a 79 year span of time? Seriously! To me that's just somebody's way of saying the 15 million dollars we threw in the shitter wasn't for nothing. It's laughable.

The effect is so small that it would add just 90 billionths of a second to a 79 year life span.

Similar question. Does time move slower near a very large object?
Something like the Great Pyramid. I’m not talking about a clock moving slower, I’m talking time itself.

Yes it does. It slows down 1/trillionth of a second over a 1000 year span. There, I just saved the taxpayers 20 MM.

What say ye OTers? Does a clock in Vale or Aspen (high mountains) run a little bit faster than one in New Orleans or Biloxi ?

All clocks in Colorado running slower b/c weed is legal

Read about time dilation
time dilation has been repeatedly demonstrated, for instance by small disparities in a pair of atomic clocks after one of them is sent on a space trip, or by clocks on the Space Shuttle running slightly slower than reference clocks on Earth, or
