I Think Someone Would Notice, Surely..?


I mean, you can't really slip them into a pocket and waltz out the door, can you?

The losses took place over several years with a £50,000 jewel – which was advertised on eBay for £40 – listed for sale as long ago as 2016.
Just look for 'buyer must collect' on any eBay ads.
The museum has not specified how many items have been stolen or detailed what the missing items are, saying only that they were “small pieces” including “gold jewellery and gems of semi-precious stones and glass dating from the 15th century BC to the 19th century AD”.
Yeah, 50ft marble friezes are safe.

  2. Let's just have a big auction. Sell everything and use the money to help pay the national debt.

  3. I see that the term Elgin Marbles has evidently been dumped.

    We must be behind the times here in Oz. Or more likely, it's just me!!
