Burglars Strike Auction House Staking $1.2 Million Stamp Theft
In Dublin, two guards chatted nearby as thieves broke a ground floor window and cabinets to steal stamps valued at 1.2 million dollars from Shanahan’s auction house. A suitcase with about five percent of the stamps was found aboard a Buddgin dock. The 3,000 lots include the Austrian-Italian collection bought via an agent who withheld the owner’s name. Paul Singer, manager, called it probably the greatest theft of its kind in history.
