    now, i'm no jewel detective

    I'm reading about the theft of the Irish crown jewels.

    the wikipedia article says "it was never solved"

    but it also says

    • The jewels were transferred to a new safe
    • Sir Arthur Vicars, the Ulster King of Arms, had it placed in his library.
    • two keys to the safe containing the regalia were both in the custody of Vicars.
    • Vicars was known to get drunk on overnight duty and he once awoke to find the jewels around his neck.
