The museum has now said most are Greek and Roman gems and jewellery, and shared pictures of similar items.

Sooooo....

Help, someone stole a tiny fraction of the shit we stole!

What's the statue of limitations before the most recent thieves are the legal owners?

Plot twist: the greeks and italians stole the artifacts back.
