I suppose these guys were trying out Security by Obscurity.
You know, using a security system that is so primitive that nobody would expect it.
They expected potential thieves to be intelligent. So that they would snoop around for telltale signs of certain alarm systems.
Finding none, they would have reasoned "Shit, they must have got something really, really sophisticated. So sophisticated nobody knows about it. I'm scared now. Can we go home please?"
So not that nobody would be stupid enough to try lifting it, but rather that nobody would be stupid enough to be able to steal it.
Apparently, the thieves here were really, really, really, really stupid.
Or had watched "Ordinary decent criminal", the better but inacurate Kevin Spacey version, once too often.

It's amazing how successful a low-tech solution can be. I only hope these thugs don't damage the painting (apparently this copy of The Scream (a.k.a. Monday Morning, or I Woke Up With What?!) was painted on card-board, or something similarly delicate and not wise to roll up).
