Another case of extravagant burglary and robbery in a museum in Germany: anonymous or anonymous broke into the Stasi Museum in the Lichtenberg neighborhood of Berlin on Saturday night and stole communist jewelry and decorations.

The jewelry stolen from the museum, which used to be the headquarters of the Deaf Police in the East German Communist regime, was confiscated under the formidable regime and their owners were not located after the fall of the regime. Among the plundered jewelry are mainly gold rings with diamonds and precious watches.

In addition to the jewelry, the burglar or burglar also robbed eight prestigious communist decorations. Last night it was reported that seven of them were imitations, and only one - the "homeland decoration", made of gold, was original, and its value is estimated at several thousand euros.

Among the non-original decorations was the Karl Marx decoration - the highest honor awarded by East Germany, the Lenin decoration and the "hero of the USSR". Most of the decorations - as given by the museum's management - were imitations.

According to reports in the country, burglars came from the garden to the museum-headquarters complex, broke a window on the first floor and entered the museum's interior, where three display cabinets were smashed and taken. They managed to evade the museum without anyone noticing their actions. A museum employee found out about the burglary only the next day and alerted police.

This case is being added to another extravagant burglary that took place about a week ago in the Royal Treasury Room in Dresden, during which unknown thieves stole very expensive jewelry, albeit on a small scale than initially estimated. The robbery in Dresden lasted only a few minutes and its operations were gone without leaving a trace - as was the case with the break-in to the Stasi Museum.

Another case of an extravagant Berlin robbery happened two and a half years ago: four gang members broke into the Buda Museum on the Museum Island and robbed a 100-pound gold coin worth about four million euros. The four suspects in the robbery, gang members in the Arab mafia in the state, retain the right of silence to this day.
