    Last headline I saw about this said 7 minutes. Pretty soon the thieves will be reaching back in time to grab these things.

      Maybe they’re hoping that, by posting the wrong figure, they’ll compel the thieves to correct them, thereby revealing themselves.

      When the French Blue was stolen after the revolution, it was recut and probably became the Hope Diamond.

      If they can’t find a buyer, they’ll melt it down and recut any gems that are too recognizable. Easy money, if you know the right people.
