The replicas -- what are they for?

[Terry Pratchett‏]

I bought them because I had so much spare cash Garrett's pants were
falling down, but now, halfway through the Museum again, playing on
Expert, I wonder why.

I assume they would automatically 'replace' the real items, but I don't
see that happening.

Thanks. Actually, I think I've learned that in some sneaky coffee break
playing. I'd ghosted both thefts (well, I'd KO'd the guy guarding the
switch) and ended up with a building full of blokes wanting a word with
me. Then I was sneaking past the Heart's plinth in a power cut, saw it
frob, and placed the replica (I'd been stupidly thinking it'd happen
automatically).
Magically, some of the guards, even those now well away from, it, have
settled down:-)
