    Thieves have stolen a hoard of Celtic gold coins...from the museum in Manching, Bavaria... Just before the break-in, nearby internet cables were cut causing widespread outages. Employees discovered shattered glass on the museum floor and the coins missing from their display case the next morning. They were unearthed during a 1999 archaeological dig near Manching - considered to be the biggest discovery of Celtic gold in the 20th Century. According to Mr Blume, the find gave people a glimpse into the daily lives of people living in Bavaria over 2000 years ago.
