I feel like “bad things” could use some clarification here, Sam. Are we talking inappropriate but ultimately benign boundary-testing, or hacking into the power grid and plunging us all into darkness? Because those two "bad things" are not really the same thing.

We have this large, blank wall that's visible from the first and second floor that needs some artwork or something. What should we do with it?
A modern two-story foyer with high ceilings, a large orb chandelier hanging above, and black metal railings flanking an upper-level overlook. A tall greige accent wall sits between the balconies, illuminated by geometric shadows cast by the chandelier. At the bottom are two white doors, one with a glass panel revealing a wine storage room, with a framed black-and-white St. Louis skyline artwork centered between them
