How dare someone steal the items we’ve stolen from other countries!!

[Zizu]

When my old mum passed away I sorted her house and stuff out .. I took two bags of old fashioned articles and wartime memorabilia ..

They weren’t even interested in taking a look at the stuff .. even though it would have fitted in perfectly with all their existing displays


The guy said that every museum in the country was vastly over stocked and they could only display around 5% of their items !!

An art dealer alerted the British Museum to alleged stolen items from the institution in 2021 but was told "all objects were accounted for".

Ittai Gradel alleged in February 2021 he had seen items online belonging to the museum, according to correspondence seen by BBC News between Mr Gradel and the museum.

Deputy director Jonathan Williams responded in July 2021 to Mr Gradel, saying "there was no suggestion of any wrongdoing".

The British Museum has been contacted for comment.

Williams added during the correspondence that there had been a "thorough investigation" and that the "collection was protected."

The London institution announced last week that it had sacked a member of staff after treasures were reported "missing, stolen or damaged".

Police are now investigating. A statement issued by the Metropolitan police said: "We have been working alongside the British Museum.

"There is currently an ongoing investigation - there is no arrest and enquiries continue. We will not be providing any further information at this time."

The BBC understands that while there are unanswered questions for the museum, due to police involvement, they don't intend to comment further at present.

British Museum thefts:
Director Hartwig Fischer quits over stolen treasures

[In a statement, he said it was evident
the museum "did not respond as comprehensively
as it should have" when it was told
about the thefts in 2021.
Mr Fischer also withdrew remarks he made
earlier this week about the art dealer who
first alerted museum bosses.
He said he expressed "sincere regret" over
the "misjudged" comments.]
