<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 3734469, member: 100459&quot;]I&#039;ve been watching the History Channel when they had shows on Egypt. Over many years, many artifacts from Egypt are &quot;stolen&quot; or purchased by private individuals. I can&#039;t spell the name of the Director of Antiquities, but he is active in repatriating artifacts in the hands of museums and private property.&nbsp; The same is happening in Iraq and other countries in the Middle East.&nbsp; Our soldiers and other allies are slowly by carefully sending them home to sell or store. If they are caught, the will be court-martialed and sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. I worked in the Staff Judge Advocates office in the 82nd Airborne Division during the Vietnam fiasco. Many of the military stole artifacts from Vietnam.&nbsp; The minimum sentence they received was 2 years in Leavenworth and a $25,000 fine only if they return their loot.&nbsp; Be careful of your hobbies. Some can get you in trouble.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
