So here's a question for you... What if Putin goes and puts out a global recall on all items from Russian museums? He could very easily say that anything from a Russian museum was "stolen state property" and claim ownership of anything that was in a museum - even if those items reside in a collection outside Russia. I know that most of us have "former museum items" (though most items are from museums in the Republics) and who would stop their items from being confiscated at shows and the like, especially if Putin's claim on the "restoral of Russian cultural items" was backed up with a partnership with Interpol and the FBI (which would be very reasonable, IMO.)

For anyone that thinks that couldn't possibly happen, what do you think the US (or Britain) would do if items were stolen out of our national museums and sold to collectors in Russia? It's obvious that our security agencies would do everything possible to recover the stolen items, no matter where they ended up (they've done it before.) Why wouldn't the Russians do the same thing???

Does this mean we'd better start deleting threads here?

That is NOT a frivilous question!!
