A recent story of international importance might have skipped your attention concerning theft of over 2,000 items from the British Museum in London over a ten-year period.

The haul included gold coins and jewelry as well as pottery and bronze items. What made the story more fascinating and ridiculous is much of the swag ended up being sold on eBay and the museum curator apparently never knew a thing about it.
