Top 11 Most Expensive Things That Were Stolen

THE SALIERA

The Saliera is a 10-inch gold sculpture made by the 16th-century artist Benvenuto Cellini for King Francis I of France. Not only is this a gorgeous sculpture, but it is also practical; it was made to hold salt and pepper. The sculpture, worth about $57 million, was stolen from a museum in Vienna in 2003. The thief was able to keep The Saliera in his possession for a few years before being caught by police.
