One attempt of theft was made in Tower of London's 900 year old history to steal the crown jewels--and that news is still on their webpage, in the audio guide and even enacted as a drama to entertain children at the premise. And yet, in the same tower of london lies the Koh-i-noor, the two Stars of Africa, the Imperial Crown of India (which was made at the extra cost of 60,000 pound collected from the Indians due to george vi's state visit) and thousands of different diamonds, sapphiers, and rubies looted from all over the world. This is what David Cameron, the British PM, has to say with regard to India's demand to return the Koh-i-noor: "If you say yes to one you suddenly find the British Museum would be empty."
Moral lesson: when one person attempts a theft, he is a thief to be condemned forever; when one nation succeeds at banditry, they are called "explorers and adventurers who collected artifacts" (quote courtesy audio guide at windsor castle and the tower of London). Raja, tomai salaam!
