I'm feeling naive at the moment. I assumed that the good idea was encouraging people to use paperclips as part of their sacred projects.
This would serve your purposes by making people a little more like paperclip maximizers.
Clippy has that effect on many people.
Why not do both?
If paper clips are apt to be stolen, then they won't be suitable for any sacred project which depends on aiming at a permanent structure.
There are sacred projects which are evanescent, like sand painting or religious services, but I can't think of any sacred project which is designed to include its stuff being stolen.
