So that it can be destroyed/stolen/sold in a future riot/coup?

Well seeing as it's already stolen...
This argument feels close to the white man's burden.
It's a little bit closer to the Elgin Marbles
Feels like someone rich and powerful stealing items from the houses of poor people on the basis that the things will be better protected in their safe, and then charging money for people to come look at them including the original owners
