BEIJING—Nine pieces of art relics from a temporary exhibition in the Palace Museum were stolen at midnight on May 8, 2011. It was the first theft in 20 years at the heavily guarded former home of emperors(皇帝), also known as the Forbidden City. The nine pieces—all small Western-style gold purses and cosmetics containers(化妆盒)covered with jewels and made between 1920 and 1945—were on loan(出借)from Hong Kong-based Liang Yi Museum and being on show in the Chengsu Hall of the Palace Museum.

    Police have recovered six stolen relics and returned them to the museum, but three pieces remain missing, according to the spokesman for the Beijing municipal police. The six stolen pieces were got from a man named Shi Baikui from Eastern China’s Shandong Province, who admitted stealing the pieces. Shi entered the museum as a visitor on May 8 and then hid himself inside and waited until closing time, according to police. He then broke a window on the northern side of the exhibition hall to gain entry and proceeded to steal relics.

    Police say Shi said he wanted to sell the relics to a store in Beijing but was turned away because the store owner said the pieces were fake(赝品). He then threw away the relics.

    The Beijing police are offering rewards to anyone who can provide them with any information or tips on the other three lost relics from the Palace Museum. The amount of the reward has not been determined yet, since authorities are evaluating the value of the stolen pieces. It is hoped that with all citizens’ help the other three can be recovered as soon as possible.
