Please do not touch: for the serious collector, security is a fine art

Article Abstract:

A sophisticated home security system typically includes invisible infrared motion detectors or beams, temperature sensors, and other devices hooked up to police telephone lines. They also cost from $4-5,000 dollars with maintenance fees of $1,800.00 anually. These expensive and highly-technical security devices are very important for serious art collectors.

Arch Cummins bought 72-acre Little St. James Island in the American West Indies when his first daughter was born. He and his wife spent five years planning the house with their architect. The result is a huge, airy and romantic house lighted only by candles at night and offering unlimited views of the sea from any side.
