generally recognized fact that the thieves are very happy: museums protected worse than banks, and the values there are much greater.

15 years ago, being in Rome, went to the museum on Capitol Hill. The first thing that surprised guard at the entrance had not checked a bag hanging on his shoulder. To the second floor (where is the famous Diana), was surprised again: on the floor I was alone, no visitors, no protection, only the ancient treasures and I am. Is not obtained, I touched some kind of a bust, then lifted him up - no alarm. Among the exhibits were bald spots: instead of artifacts lay the paper, asserted that this exhibit is on restoration. Leaving the museum, I tried to reprimand the protection of that with such attitude, they will soon be completely without exposure. Answer killed me: garbage issue, we dig up new, we have a good - dam.: Cool:
