We’ll probably find out that these men had histories that should have had them in prison. Instead they were free to steal and seriously damage a historic artifact.
They probably originally figured they sell it to some neo-Nazi collector for a high price. But the fact that it was in 3 pieces when it was found suggests that they may have panicked over the difficulty of concealing it while the country was in state of emergency over it, and realized that selling it as a historic artifact was a pipe dream. I’m just glad police found it before they melted it down to avoid getting caught with it.
I say, drop these turkeys in the middle of Yad Vashem on its busiest day and let everyone there have at’em.
I SO want the popcorn concession for that.
