    I have seen the Simpsons episode where the worlds largest cubic zirconia was stolen by Molloy, so I reckon I can work out how they did it.

    4.4mil and they couldn't employ decent security? Stupid. If there is a good side it is that the item was more one of curiosity than of cultural value. It wasn't a Rembrandt in other words; it can be replace and not given to that museum to host!
