Trouble has been brewing at the British Museum in London ever since news surfaced, a couple of weeks ago, that artefacts had been looted from its storerooms. The museum, one of the biggest in the world, has a permanent collection of eight million works, dedicated to human history. The thefts are not the first. But how do you guard a large museum?

Weekend's Paul Henley asked Patrick Bringley, who spent ten years as a security guard at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, what he made of the British Museum thefts.
