V&A Robbed Yet Again

More than 500,000 pounds worth of Renaissance plaquettes have been stolen from the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
The eight bronze 15th and 16th century works which show religious scenes were jemmied from their wooden showcases in broad daylight.
Mark Jones, director of the V&A considered this to be "a well-planned professional theft."
The V&A has been robbed of ceramics three times in the last few months including 60,000 pounds worth of Chinese jade and Meissen figures worth 30,000 pounds.
