2000 is an eztimate. they dont actually know what they have.
One of the imperialist argumentss made for keeping stolen treasure is that London is the safest place for these items.
That rings hollow today as the scale of the pilfering becomes clear. The items were not even on display. they were stored "safely" in the warehouse and were nicked by staff.
Perhaps now is the time to hand back the stolen loot and STFU ?
