Over the last couple of weeks we have discovered that we have Pokemon gyms and stops around the site.  Yesterday we had to confront a couple of teenage lads wandering around with a wooden sword (taken from one of our sculptures).  They were very cagey and said they just thought it would be fun to walk round with it, although I suspect they intended to take it as a trophy.  We believe the boys had entered through the staff entrance, avoiding the Admissions building and paying to get in.  a couple of lads searching for Pokemons and sneaking in free is not a major issue, however, the taking of trophies is, particularly if it involves taking items from the collection or removing objects/parts from the trams would be. 

 

Has anyone got any ideas on how to control this, I know players are not supposed to take trophies, but the temptation is clearly there.
