True, Dr. C., but that would be like saying that
Grandma sold off her diamonds when times were tough,
her grandkids developed a much better life, and now
were demanding them back with no compensation to the
person who bought them.  That would be unjust
enrichment.

If it's true as you say, then the museums should pay
for the merchandise, not repatriate it.  If it were
theft, that would be a different story.
