though the robbers were caught by police, it will take a lot more time to end the court case. By then, the heat of the event would be far gone and the punishment given appearing in a tiny article in some corner of the paper. No strong message of fear for reprisal will be given to the public.

It is very appropriate to sent to UK to have a carbon test to find the age of the remaining items like done Paahiyangala Skeleton . This will bring the lost public confidence back.

The police should make sure that events of similar kind will not take place in the future and I don't think that these are the real culprits, How can these common people carry out a robbery like that when there are security systems and police officers in the premises 24/7

The question naturally arises: are they the "real" robbers and what they found in their possession, the "real" artefacts - because some time back the Museum Director said that what is exhibited are not the real ones but duplicates!

No matter how long a criminal evades the law, he can't hide like that forever.........This incident proves it well.
