"We ain't Seeing Any of this Stuff" say Dealers

"We ain't Seeing Any of this Stuff" say Dealers, so it is obviously not dealers that are reporting them to the authorities:

The Washington Post reported in February that British buyers had begun to be courted by sellers proposing “interesting” goods that had just arrived from Syria and Iraq. “I get approached all the time about looted artifacts, whether it’s directly from someone who’s trying to sell it or images that were sent to somebody who has offered to buy it,” said Christopher Marinello, director of Art Recovery International. The Post described the items offered as “old and silver Byzantine coins as well as Roman pottery and glass worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

Vignette: Did not see that.
