Of course, the problem with this is the thieves might not be caught, the pieces might be disassembled, and the stones might be recut and sold.
This is a not only a theft but a crime against culture.
I have an almost viscerally negative reaction when invaluable and irreplaceable cultural artifacts meet such a fate.
