Stolen Exhibit Help please?!

[SammieUK]

Is there any way to recover an exhibit after it's been stolen? I've had ransom offers a couple of times but mostly I just have missing items. Can I get them back or do I have to go through the effort of hunting down Pristine items again? Especially annoying when Skeletons are stolen that take so many trips to replace :(

Seconded. Despite a swamp of security guards and cameras they keep getting away with my exhibits, and it's so, so painful with the multi-component exhibits.

Once you figure out how and where the thieves are coming from, taking care of them is easier... except for the moles, because they just teleport in right next to your exibit and vanish in one second.

The boggyman (I think that's how they're called) only come out from the toilets so... as awkward as this sounds, having a guard and cameras sitting in front of the toilets scare them away as soon as they step out of the bathroom.

Any thief/vandal that walks through the front door can also be dealt with by having a guard sitting near the entrance or a camera pointing at the exit.


If you DO get your stuff stolen you'll get a ransom note and if you pay it the exibit will return to your inventory.

Make sure you have a good security system setup. The Camera Room with Perks seems to b be killer. Managing the visitor traffic flow is also very important, I use one way door to keep my guests moving forward and then with cameras I always see the intruder and scare them away.

Also...even though it says thieves come when your museum reaches certain level, this is untrue I have thieves in all my lower level museums and needed to invest in security.

-Only have one entrance - any thief that uses regular entrances has X% chance to get spooked and flee if they see a camera.
-Security booth on that entrance-so a guard can see whats coming at them,not whats gone past them.
-Toilet bandits - camera on toilet entrance/exit, will spook most of them.
-Miners- just requires good camera coverage.
-Always use the thief alerts to pause and quickly locate/deal with them
