Poor security in Scotland's Museums has evidently encouraged thieves or corrupt insiders to steal some valuable coins. It's unclear of the coins had been previously photographed. If so, it will make them much easier to recover.

Viking Hoard
A significant Viking era treasure was recently found in Scotland and reported under its Treasure Trove law. More evidence-- if any is needed-- that systems that encourage the public to report their finds with the prospect of compensation are much preferable to those which don't.

Scottish Code of Practice for Treasure Trove
Scotland has a somewhat different system for Treasure Trove than the Britain and Wales. Britain and Wales have long had a very well thought out program for encouraging members of the public to report their finds to the authorities. Now, Scotland has published its first code of practice for Treasure Trove. A report about it can be found here: http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/other/display.var.2486807.0.Treasure_hunters_urged_to_read_the_rules_before_seeking_their_fortune.php
