18 items swiped in $30M Cambridge raid
(NEWSER) - A gang who broke into a Cambridge University museum after hours made off with some small but incredibly valuable Chinese artifacts.

The items, including a 16th-century carved buffalo, had been in the museum's collection for more than 50 years after being bequeathed by private collectors. Police suspect the Cambridge items may have been stolen on the orders of a less public-minded collector. More»
