The point is that there are far cheaper canaries to keep in your coalmine.

More succinctly, this is plain dumb. And especially to tell people about it in public.

No it really isn't dumb at all. Its the basis of a "honeypot".

Museums and galleries etc put their wares on show in public - can you be sure that what is shown is what you think it is or secured as you think it is?

Please don't describe anyone as dumb - its as much demeaning to you as it is anyone else.
