Government officials say catching the thieves is difficult. We have over 5,000 kilometers of borders. And most of them go out of Hong Kong. I have seen myself. Getting the artifacts across that border is simple.
Goods travel both directions each day.
Police in Yangon say catching the thieves is also difficult. It is a record the police are quite proud of. The number of unreported thefts could be much higher than what police are even aware of. We can't know that problem. Sometimes the thefts were by invading armies.
