I just read where there are a group of thieves stealing very high priced porcelain from homes in England. It seems there have been 21 cases in the last three years.
It is amazing what people will steal. I have a hard time figuring out how a thief can be successful in stealing very fragile objects. According to the authorities, these robbers are very professional. I assume they are well prepared to carry off the loot in safe containers. It would be a disaster if one would go through all the effort of planning and stealing the loot and dropping and damaging it before they get to their destination.
When I attend local antique auctions, I have observed individuals with large sturdy containers (boxes, bags) and bubble wrap, newspapers, cloths . I assume they intend to purchase something very fragile like porcelain. I’m sure the thought of transporting the valuables safely has to be a top consideration of the porcelain robbers.
One of the objects recently stolen was a Meissen teapot in the form of a monkey.
According to the investigators the art pieces stolen are disposed of quickly. Sometimes these pieces show up on internet auctions for sale. It might be interesting to find out what has recently been stolen and then search the online auction sites to see if anything familiar shows up. Perhaps a porcelain monkey might be up for grabs.
