The real Ten Commandments should inclide the words "Thou should not even think of ..."
In other words Though should not even think of believing in other God's, or Thou should not even think to covet thy neighbours wife and so on.
God is saying even to think of doing something is just as bad as doing it.
As to whether the biblical history of the Ten Commandments is real, and therefore whether they are really of divine origin, there is no evidence that the Ten Commandments ever existed outside the Bible. In fact, the strong consensus of biblical scholars is that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, in which case the story of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God can not be historical. The Ten Commandments belong to traditions put down in writing during the middle centuries of the first millennium BCE.
They are real. No one knows today where they are, despite sensational claims to the contrary. Even 1800 years ago, the Talmud-sages discussed this question (Yoma 53b). The Talmud (ibid.) states two opinions in this matter. According to one opinion, the Ark of the Covenant was carried off by the Babylonians when they destroyed the First Temple.
According to the second opinion, around 35 years before the First Destruction, King Josiah (Yoshiah) hid the Ark in a secret chamber constructed for this purpose, since it was already apparent that the Temple wouldn't last much longer. The Prophets had been foretelling the destruction of the Temple for some time.
Tradition states that when he built the Temple, King Solomon prepared a hidden shaft and room deep underneath the Temple Mount for just such an eventuality (Maimonides, in the Hilchot Beit HaBechirah 4:1).
The second opinion is the accepted one (Maimonides, ibid, 4:1-2). However, it is possible to account for both opinions, since all of the Temple vessels had duplicates which were made in order to be used if the original vessel got lost or defiled (Talmud, Hagigah 26b). We may postulate that the Babylonians carried into captivity an empty duplicate Ark which had been placed in the Holy of Holies after King Josiah concealed the original.
The stones with the Ten Commandments are believed to be located in the Ark of the Covenant, which according to the biblical account, was kept in the inner sanctum of the Tabernacle and later in the Temple of Jerusalem. However, the physical whereabouts of the Ark and the stones are unknown.

Some synagogues, but not all, incorporate the Ten Commandments, or some symbolic representation, in the design or decoration of the building's exterior, interior, or sanctuary; but there is no religious commandment to do so. It is perfectly acceptable if the Ten Commandments are only found within the text of the Torah, either in the scroll kept in the ark, or in the books used during some services, that contain the Torah's text.
