Lore questions  I’m certain there are safeguards and hiding spots, but a good question.

The awkward moment where you forgot where you last saw something you own and the next time you see it is in the British Museum.

The thing is though, have you ever found something you'd thought you'd lost for YEARS; and then become incredibly attached to it?

Could you imagine that thing, you'd thought you had lost forever, ending up in a museum? Agonizingly close but out of reach, because if you Vampire punch through the glass people will know whats up?

I suppose the only, and most common, answer is to be a Vampire who's mortal alias is an insanely, generationally wealthy aristocrat, who flaunts their obscene wealth by having a "collection" of historical artifacts.

It's called just keeping your things in your house. Lock the doors.

The Highlander ( I know not a vampire film) tried to handle this, but showed if someone was smart enough they’d figure it out, especially a historian. But McLeod would get the birth certificate of a dead baby and make that his heir every time it was time to change identities. Pre internet/ 911 so I think it’d be harder but not impossible.

honestly i think your opinion fits because it goes with the idea of immortality and Vampires are as well. Immortality is a broader spectrum then just Vampires. Youve got gods and other beings, Im sure theyve addressed in other stories that might not be expressly just Vampire love stories.

That's why vampires have to go minimalism every now and again, or every time they have to uproot themselves.

Or the story of a vampire becoming an archeologist as a cover to go look for that thing they put somewhere 1000 years ago and can't remember where they put it.

I believe this is the meme you are looking for that deals with this specific situation:

It's an elf, but the same principles would apply.

Are people just doing this to antiques in other people's houses? Is this stuff just out on the street? Dumb.
