Dear MUSEUM_L list Members,

As a "stab-in-the-dark" attempt to get some information for a research
project, I have subscribed to the list with one single question to ask:

Have any list subscribers examples of the theft of biological/fossil
specimens from within an actual museum collection (rather than loaned or
display material) and if so, what fault in the security measures was to
blame (if any).

Sorry to raise another curatorial nightmare - I won't ask about fires I
promise... :)

Many thanks,
