Over 1,000 artefacts, including metalwork jewellery, Native American baskets and memorabilia, were stolen from an off-site Oakland Museum of California facility on October 15. Lori Fogarty, the museum’s director, termed the heist a "crime of opportunity". "The thieves...grabbed what they could easily find and snatch," she added. Police and the FBI’s Art Crime Team are investigating the theft.
