Happened today at Munching Germany, at the Celtic Museum https://www.museum-manching.de/index.php?id=0,34 The news are in German and I can't see if one can select the news in English: https://pfaffenhofen-today.de/74064-manching-museum-goldschatz-einbruch-221122 https://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/bayern-manching-goldschatz-raub-museum-1.5701172?reduced=true The thieves cut the cables at the service provider: https://web.de/magazine/regio/bayern/gl ... t-37499256 It really is unbelievable!

Well, crud. The criminals are probably smart (and soulless) enough to just melt them into a nice fungible gold bar, rather than trying to move them as antiquities. Sure hope I'm wrong.
I was fearing the same thing. I mean, it's not like you can sell them in the open market, I presume. Unbelievable that security can be bypassed in 2022 by simply cutting cables. That seems so last century...
"They cut off the whole of Manching..." It sounds like they are saying the thieves brought down the town's entire communications grid. The museum itself is described as a "high-security location". Rather sophisticated, I'd say.
