    “It has also said the stolen items included gold rings, earrings and other pieces of jewellery dating back to ancient Greek and Roman periods”

    The irony of the British Museum being upset that someone is taking their stuff without their permission…

    This is the same institution that when countries like, well Greece, ask for their artefacts back the usual response is:

    Nah, can’t do that. This is the best place to keep them safe…
