Utter tossers. I guess they can only want them for the metal as they would be impossible to sell on (unless stolen to order).

How did they manage to get in and out of there though? Don't they have security working there overnight?

I'd be surprised for such small gains, scrap silver seems to go for about £360/kilo, hardly a life changing profit for an insider to risk getting put away. Probably just the usual brain-dead smash & grab morons.

I get a different story from the OP link.

Pravda is covering it:

I dunno, bloody humans.

Thieves were either drunken mongs, or stealing to order. Given the wholesale damage, Occam's Razor suggests the former.

Not exactly going to pop up on eBay are they? They will be going to some rich private collector, never to be seen for 40 years until they die or change hands.
