"KYIV, Ukraine — The heist started when a mysterious man in a white lab coat
showed up at the museum.

A squad of Russian soldiers stood behind him, with guns, watching eagerly.

Using long tweezers and special gloves, the man in the white coat carefully
extracted scores of special gold artifacts more than 2,300 years old from
cardboard boxes in the cellar of a museum in Melitopol, a southern town in
Russian-occupied territory, Ukrainian officials said. The gold items were from
the Scythian empire and dated back to the fourth century B.C.

Then the mysterious expert, the Russian soldiers and the gold disappeared."
