      That’s what I’m afraid of. Because you can’t exactly wear that around town if you’re the buyer.

        I can imagine there are some people who love to dress like a king with jewelry and stuff in their private rooms

          I wouldn’t be surprised if I heard they actually wear them to parties and such, surrounded by other wealthy people who are also above the law.

          That is better but still it’s depriving people of enjoying it.

          I larger consider such jewelry to be wasteful but it’s already made. Its only value to me is as art. Art should be seen an exhibited.

          Really what I’m hoping for is maybe a “return to where we stole it” situation. I don’t know the history of the pieces but if it was taken from another country and they thief’s return it there… I’d say it was an all around good thing it got stolen.

          Anything else is just more waste which kinda points mockingly at the poverty the world is facing right now.

            But that is exactly the point of stealing it and keeping it private. You choose who gets to see it and no one can enjoy it but you at any time you want.

            Granted, it is idiotic, not arguing around that.

              Maybe I just don’t have the right mental mindset to see it. It would still feel like “my girlfriend goes to a different school but trust me bro I have a girlfriend “

              I’m not a natural braggy person but the type of person who’s happy enjoying thier wealth privately wouldn’t steal historical jewelry.

              I’m not a shrink tho. Maybe they are just strange.
