Bavarian Celtic and Roman Museum theft of 483 gold coins dated to 100 BC brings convictions


Recommended Posts

3 men given up to 11 years in prison for 9 minute theft of biggest trove of Celtic gold found in the 20th century; coins apparently melted down, implicated in 20 other robberies:

P.S. I speculate this priceless destruction may be due to coins staying in little (12k pop) town where discovered instead of major city museum with world class security and ease of visiting like nearby Munich or even Stockholm coin museum which has elaborate setup to view all with magnifiers etc. Dislike this stay-local movement for world heritage items.
