Also, as you said, minimum wage security guards? Nope, not in the places where these were kept. But the robbers were armed, so people's lives were at risk, both security guards and people attending the museum. The POINT of a museum is to have works on display so that everyone can see them, not to sell them off to the highest bidder so as to protect one or two plum pieces. As it is, the cops should probably wait a month and start checking the houses of Russian mob bosses and their mistresses.
