British Museum worker sacked over missing items
The museum dismisses a member of staff and police are investigating after treasures go missing.
Ironic.
Don't dish it if you can't take it
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The British Museum in London has sacked a member of staff and police are investigating after treasures were reported "missing, stolen or damaged".
Items including gold, jewellery and gems of semi-precious stones were among those found to be missing, stolen or damaged.
The majority of the items were kept in a storeroom, the museum said.
British Museum director Hartwig Fischer said the organisation had "brought an end to this".
