Thieves Steal Italian Sculptor's Gold Jewellery Exhibit​

Thieves have stolen almost 50 pieces of gold jewellery by the Italian sculptor Umberto Mastroianni worth 1.2 million euros in a targeted hit on an exhibition in northern Italy, curators said Saturday.

A "highly specialised gang" made off Wednesday night with almost the entire collection of rings, bracelets, pendants and sculptures by Mastroianni, considered one of Italy's greatest contemporary sculptors, on display at the Vittoriale degli Italiani estate on Lake Garda.

Only one of the 49 items in the collection, worth a total of 1,207,400 euros (around $1.3 million), was recovered elsewhere on the estate, the Vittoriale said in a statement after holding a press conference on the theft.

I'm guessing the art will be melted down since it seems to be well known and therefore likely difficult to sell. I wonder what the bullion value of the heist was.

DEVASTATING Gold and Silver Robbery - A Stacker’s Worst Nightmare​

Aug 22, 2024 #preciousmetals #silver #gold

In this video I talk to a local silver stacker named Alex who got his gold and silver stack stolen. His home was robbed and his safe was broken into. This robbery took place while he was at work and in total he lost about $100,000 in assets. He talks about how the robbery took place and what steps he has to taken to ensure that this doesn't happen again. One of the main issues was the fact that he was in the process of moving and did not have his cameras or alarms set up yet. He talks about the problems with the insurance company and how little they are willing to pay out. This is a nightmare for any silver stacker and I will post an update in the comment section with any future developments.
