Subject: RE: BS:'Arbeit Macht Frei' sign stolen from Auschwitz
Sorry, the sign was found in Torun 500km away. That's 300 miles each way. In the UK scrap steel is about £75 a tonne, so 80kg is worth about £6. Even Polish Radio thinks it was stolen to order. And it's the 65th anniversary, not the 60th (of course).
