What comes to mind is the possibility of running screws from the shelf into
the bottom of the globe, if that's possible. Maybe lay a tastefully
painted board on top of an existing shelf to drill through if you don't
want to drill holes into your regular shelf. However, a person would have
to be pretty brazen to take a chance of walking around a mall with a stolen
globe. Seems to me there must be easier pickings.
