**Swedish crown jewels stolen from 900-year-old church by speedboat-driving thieves
**
Authorities in Sweden launched a massive search Wednesday after crown jewels belonging to the country's royal family were stolen by thieves who escaped on a speed boat.
Two crowns and an orb -- one belonging to King Karl IX, the other to Queen Kristina -- were snatched Tuesday morning from the Strangnas Cathedral, a 900-year-old church located about 50 miles from the capital of Stockholm.
The two men lifted the jewels from locked glass boxes and made their getaway in a speedboat waiting at a nearby waterway

Amazing.... Guesses as to the thieves identities or whether the gold is already melted?? Think about the huge gold Canadian coin.... Cheers, RickO
Probably a rented boat. My pappy said if it flys or floats rent it. Maybe another I forget.
Probably now comfortably sitting somewhere in the Balkans or St. Petersburg.

Hopefully it hasn't been melted.

Unbelievable. Hopefully they round the thieves up fast.

It wasn't me.
I can't think of a single place I could wear them.
Oh man.
It may be this guy and his gang I would check him out he has not been working lately.
Hoard the keys.
