I volunteer somewhere in Los Angeles. They have an item on public display that no one (besides me) seems to realize or appreciate is worth, conservatively (IMHO) at least $500,000, if not significantly more.

The item is perched on top of (not in!!) a display case, and can be touched by the public. I suppose it is 'hidden in plain sight' and that offers some security, but it is still nerve wracking to me the thing could be damaged (or disappear, never to be seen again) and no one in the administration of the place is remotely concerned about it.

As for the enigma machine, it is creepy in a way. I thought the 20-40000 Euros is low too, but what do I know ??
