Beware that anything can have a value be stolen as security is handled by people with self centered. these things are happening with or without their knowledge. no safety, security for any one in the country. see politicians killing innocent people even suspecting they as threatning them.

the reason because for stolen is beacause of current country situation..

Results of watching too many Western movies like Topkapi, Thomas Crown Affair and Oceans 12. Like our Minister Weerawansa says, American and British movies should also be banned as all these are part of western conspiracies to spoil our patriotic people.

It is sad to note how negative the comments are. This indicates how disgusted the people are but the authority is deaf and blind. These are sign of warnings and someone high up should really take it seriously.

Sometimes the thief and the accomplices who broke into the museum must be there looking into what is going on.
