Gonna play a game of comment roulette. How far do I have to scroll before I see someone say something like, "That can't be in their museum because they can't be trusted with it".

Spinning the chamber now.

I'm not saying it always is but there are a lot of very unstable places run by people who just don't care about this stuff. And at the time it was stolen it was either the British museum, someone's private collection, or the Vatican.
