Can you drill holes through the countertop and run wires through the counter
and in through the bottom of the appliances so the wires are unseen yet
secure the things?  That won't stop people from actually breaking pieces off
of the objects, but it could slow down them walking away all together.

Subject: exhibition class question


> Hello,
>   I am an undergrad student in an exhibition planning and design course.
For our final project, my group and I are planning an exhibit that deals
with 100 years of the American Interior.  Our final presentation focuses on
a display of a 1950s kitchen that we would mock up if we were actually
creating the exhibit.
>    My question deals with the security of the objects in the kitchen.  We
would like visitors to walk through the kitchen without any barriers, but we
want to use real 1950s appliances in the exhibit.  Are there any other ways
we can protect our toasters, blenders, etc. from thefts without putting
cases around them?  Would cases interfere with the visitors' experience?  We
had talked about putting up a reading rail in front of the counters that had
appliances on them.
>    Does anyone have any suggestions?
