Exciting Night In the Museum




On Thursday, four California museums were involved in raids. It was believed that the museum held smuggled goods from China, Thailand and Myanmar.

The way they were smuggled in involved tagging the items with 'Made in Thailand' stickers so they would appear to be fake. It is said that these donated items were also written off a little too highly for the tax breaks. Furthermore it is also believed that the curators and other museum officials knew the items were stolen and chose to accept them regardless.
