Stolen Heart
Literally:
Nothing "bizarre" about it: they had a buyer. Rich eccentrics collect really... well, eccentric stuff.
"Come, Nigel; bring along that bottle of exquisite Chateau Margaux '44 and step down to the lower level with me. You simply must tour my Christian mythological relics collection. It's wholly entertaining. I say! I made a little jest there, Nigel."
The preserved heart of Dublin's patron saint has been stolen from the city's Christ Church Cathedral, officials say. The thief would have needed metal cutters to prise open the iron bars protecting the wooden heart-shaped box holding St Laurence O'Toole's heart.
Police believe it happened some time between Friday night and about 12.30 GMT on Saturday. "They specifically targeted this, they wanted the heart of St Laurence O'Toole," a church spokeswoman said.
"It's completely bizarre," she said, adding that valuable gold chalices and gold candlesticks were ignored by the thief.
