If it were theft of a historical item that belonged to another country/culture, and the theft resulted in that item being returned to its rightful owner, that would be justified to me. But that’s absolutely not what happened here.

I agree. I don’t like when historical pieces are stolen, It’s erasing history. But I more so am just astounded at how easily these people seemed to do this. It was broad daylight with visitors in the museum. It makes no sense to me how that could even happen

I haven’t had the chance to look into it in depth, but my best guess would be that it was an inside job in some way. I feel like it’s not possible without at least one person helping on the inside, whether that be a curator, security guard, or whoever. Although I obviously don’t approve of it, it would be extremely impressive if they pulled it off without an inside person

You’re most likely right. Idk how else alarms wouldn’t have been raised as quickly. Apparently the whole thing took 8 minutes. They brought a truck with a ladder up to a window, cut through the window dressed as construction workers, went in, and used chainsaws to break open the displays. The room they were in was conveniently free of all visitors at the time as well. Then they were seen by security, ran and got away on motorcycles
