A ship model loses masts at the first knock and dust settles into every rope. In the overview Security for collectors this is an object you do not set down in the passageway.

What breaks without a thief

Knocks, dust, sun on the sails, a shelf that wobbles. A display case helps against dust and against the sleeve that passes by. You lift by the hull, not by the mast.

When someone comes

Bulky, rarely the first target. The damage is the tipping over. Small models in the display case by the door still get taken if they look like something that can be sold. The case stands farther inside, is anchored, the list knows the scale and the yard, if that can be documented.

The folder

Scale, yard or builder, dimensions, proof, photo from the side. Missing parts are already missing, not only after the visit.
