Most Art Is Stolen from Homes-Here's One Thing You Can Do to Protect Yours

A few years ago, there was a story out of Chicago: like many cities, it has a program where they have a small annual budget to purchase art from local (minor) artists and display it in municipal buildings. There was a painting they had purchased and hung up in the convention center. Over the course of approximately 3 decades, tens of millions of people walked past it until one of them said “hey, that guy is really famous now” and the convention center decided that maybe they shouldn’t let it sit there where anyone could grab it and run out the door. They put it up for auction and got more than $20 million for it.
