Four MINUTES for the Villena treasure. How is that even possible?

I read the news post twice. The alarm at 5.20am and the thieves gone by 5.24am. And then the same day in Vienna two men with tickets smashed a case with a hammer and took Queen Nazli's necklace.

I taught for 35 years and I took so many classes to museums. It's heartbreaking to think of those cases empty. The mayor saying 'they've taken most of the treasure' just sounded so tired.

Do you think museums can really protect things like this, or is it impossible now?
