I remember an article/documentary about a criminal, who explained he wanted to have a piece of art as his personal insurance.
A highly valued piece of art is irreplaceable. No matter how much money you spend, you won't get that specific piece back. Logic of this person was, that governments could go to extremes in order to get such work back to the museum so this could act as his "get out of jail" -card.
Quite likely it was this documentary, but it is hard to find the details.
