Physical Security: If you want $2MM in gold, just take it….

A gold block was stolen from a Japanese museum because physical security measures were not placed around it. It’s worth around $2 million.

The Ohashi Collection Kan museum in Takayama, central Japan, had kept the 220-pound gold bullion unguarded by sensors or even a case because it wanted visitors to be able to touch it, according to local police officer Shinji Kurake.

Will the museum ever get a premium rate on insurance again?
