The Museum will have to make a few very painful calls with the insurance and the owner (Royal Canadian Mint), I guess.

Hmm, even one percent finders fee would be nice wouldnt it?

Some more information if someone reads German:

Too heavy and too big to fix in my back pocket.

Short update to this:

Berlin Police is quite perplexed: They used both a ladder and a wheelbarrow! Seems like Oceans elven were at work

Behind a Bode museum there is a elevated light railway line and since Berlin never sleeps , there was no service for two hours at night. Thives used that time window and transported the coin by a wheelbarrow c150 yards. Afterwards seemingly they lowered it on street level and drove away.

P.S: also think it is already molten or sawed in small pieces. Would be no wonder to me if it was already outside Germany when the police noticed.
