A few armed thieves with a precious painting in their hands, would not stop, nor are they professional enough, to take hostages. Besides, a hostage situation isn't as delicate as Hollywood movies make it out to be - you just send it the SWAT/Anti-terror teams, and there's a very slim chance of anyone, other than the terrorists (and if they take hostages, that's what they are), getting hurt. But that's beside the point...Maybe they decided to play it safe because of the hundreds of potential hostages lying on the floor.
What would be the point of that? It'd be better to let it go, and try some other time. Damage to the painting would be the LAST thing they, or the people who sent them, would want.Besides, they could threat with breaking one of the paintings.
That's what I said - simply shutting the doors close.The best idea would have been to stop them at the entrance of the museum.
That's another very passive and docile solution, that could work. But, again, the possibility of using violence still exists, and that's not acceptable, is it now?The best idea would have been to stop them at the entrance of the museum.
