Inspired by this, some clever thieves reasoned that the tower of Wat Ratchaburana might hold such a treasure as well. Some time in 1957, they managed to penetrate the vault hidden below the public chamber and made off with a small fortune in gold and gems found there. Fortunately the burglars were arrested before they could dispose of most of the loot, and the stolen items, along with more grave items recovered from the pit, can now be seen in the Chao Sam Phraya Museum
