The Forbidden City in Beijing collects a lot of treasures. A thief dug a hole in the wall, sneaked into the palace and stole 7 exhibits with two broken pieces left on the ground. After getting the treasures, he slipped away. Currently, the Beijing police is looking after the suspect. It is estimated that the 7 exhibits are worth 10 million yuan.

The security is very tight in the Forbidden City. There are many micro-cameras and alarm bells. How could the thief get in to steal the treasures and slip away?

I've heard about this too. Just unbelievable! The thief, or we'd better call him criminal must be very familiar with the structure and alarm system of Forbidden City.

He should be severely punished once arrested.

The thief was caught in an internet bar in Fengtai, Beijing. The report says that he admitted his crime. Some of the stolen exhibits have been found.

The thief actually didn't know that what he stole were very worthy. After escaping from the forbidden city, he threw 3 pieces of exhibits into the dustbin because he thought they were fake.

One thing I can't understand is how he climbed up a 10 meters high wall. He must have learned kungfu. It's my guess.

The Forbidden City sent a silk banner to the police station to express their gratitude. But they made a great mistake. One Chinese characters was wrong. What a humiliation! The media reported this but the Forbidden CIty insisted they were not wrong.

Today, they admitted their mistake too. The following are some of the exhibits.

There is a trend the Forbidden City authority wants to make this cultural relics notorious. It was reported that the Jianfu Palace in its east has been made into a top private club for the rich only.

climbed up a 10 meters high wall? It's impossible for a normal person if he doesn't use some tools. How did he do it?
