I was so ashamed of the inadequate security measures when some of the crown jewels of Saxony were stolen. Even though the thieves in Dresden went to a lot of trouble to get into the palace in the first place. But it seems that the security precautions at the Louvre are nowhere near as sophisticated as one would expect. How can that be? In daylight, within moments, using a ladder, smashing a window, opening the display cases, stealing the jewels and escaping. I had hoped that after Dresden, museums of high rank like the Louvre (in this case: V&A, Kensington Palace...?) would at least replace the glass in the display cases with high-security glass that you have to beat on for minutes with heavy equipment to break it.
