It is the way I chew it...

There are anti-theft clips on frames in museums. You can't just walk up and pick an artwork up from the wall like you would with a regular frame at home, it literally won't even bulge from the wall (we use some sort of tool to remove it but it takes time and strength (I am so weak) and as a thief I'm guessing you'll want to hurry).
