The theft of Hindu idols are rampant. Majority of this is carried out by professionals, businessmen and regional players. Now is a case of rare murti of Shani Bhagavan. 

The Hindu reports
A 600-year-old "ashtha-dthatu'' idol of Lord Shani Dev, valued at about Rs.5 crore in the international market, has been seized from the Walled City of Delhi area by the Special Staff of the Delhi police.
Numerous idols have already crossed the seas and adorn the living rooms of rich people; some adorn the lounge of hotels. Some find space in museums around the world.




Well who cares for antique idols? Some have no time for cultural values. Some only have to time to install new idols.
