Hmm... Good point... I mean THAT's also a thing which can happen in China LOL

perhaps researching and developing some physical security measures might

be a good idea.  again (sigh) you will likely run into "security through

stupidit...^Wobscurity" in industry-standard measures ("if people don't

know what security we put in place they couldn't possibly work it out"...

rriiiight) so may actually have to ask a friendly physical pen-tester

"how the hell do i secure these chemicals and make sure that the

relevant authorities are immediately notified, and what evidence

will they require?"

in the UK you have to have a gun safe and a firearms license, even for

a black powder muzzle-loading musket, now [despite the fact that

50% of injuries during the English Civil War were actually down to

people using their musket as a club, i.e. not firing the damn things

at all because they ran out of black powder].

stupidity of regulations aside, actually either stopping someone entirely

from successfully stealing these chemicals, or providing evidence (security

camera footage) *that passes muster in a court of law* would make any

authorities a lot less unhappy if they actually ever have to be called.

camera footage you have to be exceptionally careful about (and, also,

not have cameras that are so expensive they actually end up being

stolen to order!) because "processing" of the data (including post

processing such as MPEG compression, scaling etc.) can be considered

"tampering with evidence" (sigh) and a case thrown out despite it

being blindingly obvious whodunnit.
