I guess we'll need to wait until the news conference for more details. Good news that it's been recovered though.

What's so striking is what an ordinary building in such a completely ordinary neighborhood.

Ever since then I've just never believed there's any supernatural forces that could possibly be worse than what people can do to their fellow human beings.

It doesn't affect for me the possibility of the existence of ghosts, but I do always claim that live people are those you should be scared of, not ghosts.

Tthey said on our news today that they were not Neo-Nazis nor affiliated with such, and that they were professional thieves.

Apparently, Vera. It seems they stole it for a contract for a Nazi memorabilia collector.

Yes, whoever said collectors was apparently right.

How weak is that.

It looks that the order for this sign comes from crazy Swedish collector.

I already thought so.

From the latest polish news (unconfirmed): A Neo Nazi group in Sweden placed the order. The group was intending to sell the sign to a collector in Sweden. They wanted to use the funds for a terrorist attack on the Swedish parliament.
