>The labeling of things in museums as "stolen" is lacking, IMO. In some cases, yes... straight up looted items are in museums.

If the best place to hide a lie is between two truths then the best place to hide a stolen item is between two that were legitimately acquired. This debate always seems to acknowledge that there are items completely illigitmately acquired but then shrug shoulders that nothing can be done because there are other items that were legitmatley acquired and somehow that's supposed to be convicing.

It's an idictment against the British Museum and by extension the UK that these items we do agree are stolen simply aren't returned.
