There are steel poles for dogs you screw into the ground with a loop
you could lock a chain to, then bolt a hook to the art. To remove the
pole later put a piece of pipe in the loop and turn it out. Nobody
will mess with it with it chained down. Or get a landmine and set the
art on it, it will blow when they steal it.
