What a disgrace.


Priceless royal crowns stolen in Sweden, thieves get away on motor boat.

Swedish police have mobilized their land, sea and air forces to catch two men who stole 17th century royal crowns and an orb from a church
in broad daylight on Tuesday before making a daring escape in a motor boat.
In what looks more like a Hollywood movie plot than real-word crime news,
crowns belonging to two 17th-century members of the Swedish royal family – King Karl (Charles) IX and Queen Kristina (Christina) –
were stolen by two perpetrators as they raided a church in the country's southeast.
The burglars also took a royal orb, a traditional symbol of monarchical power that was surmounted by a cross.

Police say the burgled regalia are "invaluable objects of national interest" and cannot be given a price tag.

I say we don't consider Sweden a country anymore until they recover their crown.

I say we don't consider Sweden a country anymore until they recover their FAMILY JEWELS.

There. That is more grammatically correct. [For those who have slow mental processes FAMILY JEWELS = cajones]

Funny how they're so worried about getting back royal property as they give away their country to rapefugees

How come these items weren’t secured better?? Is the whole fucking country unsecured and there for the taking by anyone?? And where does one fence such high profile unique items? (I’m thinking their buyer was already lined up)
