The issue of why someone is stealing it is a good question.

My thoughts...

Option 1: To hold it for ransom. 'Course, that's what happened the last time, and it didn't work out too well.

Option 2: To sell it on the open black market. Well, as has been pointed out, it is rather famous, so selling it will be difficult.

Option 3: To sell it to a prearranged buyer. IOW, someone offered to pay for it ahead of time. Most practical, since you don't have to find a buyer. Obviously, this would be a very private collection...

Option 4: the secret message thing. Hey, when you've had enough to drink, anything sounds good [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img]

It will be interesting to see what happens.
