"Entire collection stolen from Doesburg silver museum".
Yes, you read that right:


Quote:
At approximately 4:30 a.m., two unknown individuals forced their way into the church through a tower entrance, used a crowbar to breach the museum's doors, and smashed all 14 display vitrines before departing with the entire silver collection, police and museum statements confirm.

This is so sad, but not entirely unexpected considering the surging price of silver.

What an absolute shame. We'll probably be seeing many more such heists.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

As the article says, these were cultural and artistic artifacts, worth more than the value as silver.

This is as devastating as that Celtic gold theft from the German museum in 2022. It's the history that we lose. All these Neanderthals see is precious metals to be melted down.
