Man jailed for stealing handbag that contained £2.2m Fabergé egg - BBC News

To wonder why anyone would take a Fabergé egg with them to the pub? Obviously it was a horrendous crime for the man to take the bag and he deserves to go to prison, but what would possess someone to take a bag containing such a valuable artifact to a pub, in Soho no less?

He'd have known it was worth something. He probably sold it for next to nothing to some dodgy jeweller or something.

It says in one article she has been calling the police every day. Suggesting in my mind that she is racked with anxiety. Incredibly stupid thing to do - even take it out at all - but I think she’s very sadly paying with her mental health. I feel very sorry for her

Yanbu. Can't believe anyone do that and be so stupid to think taking the egg to the pub was a good idea. How on earth she kept her job.

What a story, definitely feels like there's more going on with it.
Do we know what the job is?

Thinking of all the security the G4S type companies have for moving a bit of cash, so the idea of wandering around with this egg in a bag is comical

Maybe its her lucky egg, and she was hoping to find a really good shag down the pub?

This was just such a bizzare story. There has to be more to it.

You win 🏆 😂

🤣🤣🤣

I though i posted this yesterday but perhaps there’s a link eg family business hence why she kept her job.

Agree. I know someone who had to deliver some expensive jewellery to a customer in London. Around £250,000 tops, and a really short journey, but still had to take a car plus two security guards. The fact she was taking the egg and watch anywhere in her handbag suggests that it’s not worth much at all.

She was the CEO of the company.

We were talking about this as a family too.

🤣

Just what I was thinking. It’s not fair to penalise the thief just because he happened to nick a priceless egg. He just bucked a bag.

😂 😂

it still sounds like an inside job to me.

I don't think it's a co-incidence that the company that owned this egg were Irish and the man who took it was arrested in Ireland in spite of the fact that he's from London.

But yes, she's a stupid woman. There's a fair few about.

Tbh I would assume she was in on it.

Me either. Who doesn't? 🤣

This thought came to my mind as soon as I read it. However, according to her mother she is ‘very upset’ Who on earth would think it was ok to take it to a pub in the first place? You’d have thought she’d want to get it somewhere safe as soon as possible.

Love this!

Saw this yesterday and thought the same.

Even more stunned to see that apparently she still works for the company.

You need to see them in real life.

They are exquisite. Pictures on the internet don't really do Faberge Eggs justice lol.

I have done, I just think they look a bit naff. Like I say, maybe I just have no taste.

I'm hoping that the thief sold it for a tenner, and that the purchaser gave it to his/her child for Easter, perhaps as part of an Easter egg hunt.

Bet the child was pissed off when she couldn't find a bit that was actually made of chocolate.

Faberge eggs are so blingy and horrible that a child's toy box is probably the best place for them though.

Faberge egg kedgeree. YUM!
