With all the rancorous hate spread by archeologists about collectors, it is not surprising that they and the objects they preserve and display are being targeted by thieves:
Ancient Egyptian artefacts, historical swords, daggers, spears and arrows have been stolen from an 18th Century mansion in East Lothian. Items from a rare historical collection were taken from Biel House in Stenton some time between 16:00 on Tuesday and 09:00 on Wednesday. They are worth a four-figure sum of money. Police Scotland have appealed for witnesses. PC Karen Hamilton said: “These artefacts have been in the museum at Biel House for many years and we are keen to make sure these are returned to where they belong.”BBC News: 'Historical artefacts stolen from mansion in East Lothian' BBC 6 October 2016
Lothian is part of Scottland. The house itself is described here.
