: I found this newsreport in the Dutch newspaper
: De Telegraaf from 26-05-1978.
:
: She tells about how in the week before her
: most cherished jewels were stolen from her
: house in Munich.
:
: 'I am deeply saddened'. 'The jewels I bought
: myself I can easily replace, but those I
: inherited from my mother Princess Sibylla,
: my grandfather King Gustaf VI Adolf and my
: great grandfather King Gustaf V, are
: irreplaceable.'
:
: She kept her jewels in her bedroom. First
: she noticed nothing, but she got a hunch
: something was wrong when a bottle of liquor
: wasn't in its usual place (!). Later, when
: she wanted to change clothes for dinner, she
: noticed the jewels were gone.
:
: 'The thieves must have known my habits. They
: must have entered my house in the time I
: went to collect my daughter from school, in
: between 12.00 and 12.30. I do that every
: day. There were two servants in my house,
: but the bedroom windows, with a view on the
: garden were open, because the weather was
: lovely. There are no finger prints. The
: police found footprints under the windows
: and on the garden paths.'
