We were sent a link to the series of radio programmes on the thefts at the British Museum (as below) which make for fascinating listening, partly because Dr. Ittai Gradel, the Danish antiquities dealer who reported the thefts talks so interestingly about how he worked out who was selling them – not so difficult once he realised that the putative thief had supplied his home address and used his regular twitter handle as his alias.

It is a bizarre and horrifying story, much worse than it was originally possible to imagine.  Not quite enough on the psychology of in-house theft.  It seems strange that it wasn’t noticed since the thefts were so extensive and the thief made so few efforts to cover his tracks, as if willing himself to be caught.
