Burglars steal $2 million tabernacle from Catholic church in Brooklyn - ABC News (go.com)

A gold tabernacle decorated with jewels -- worth an estimated $2 million -- was stolen from a Catholic church in Brooklyn over Memorial Day weekend and police are now on the hunt for who carried out the carefully planned heist.

The tabernacle, which is pure 18-karat gold, dates back to the 1890s, according to the Diocese of Brooklyn.

The burglars broke into Saint Augustine Roman Catholic Church in Park Slope and cut through the metal case protecting the tabernacle.

The person is believed to have left through the front door, according to New York ABC station WABC. The perpetrators also made off with the security footage, WABC reported.

They also decapitated the head from a statue of an angel.

A statue of an angel beside the tabernacle was also decapitated, authorities said.

The theft took place sometime between Thursday night and Saturday afternoon, according to the New York Police Department. The pastor, who discovered the theft on Saturday, said he believes it took place on Friday.

"This is devastating, as the Tabernacle is the central focus of our church outside of worship, holding the Body of Christ, the Eucharist, which is delivered to the sick and homebound," Father Frank Tumino, pastor at Saint Augustine, said in a statement. "To know that a burglar entered the most sacred space of our beautiful Church and took great pains to cut into a security system is a heinous act of disrespect."

The burglars also apparently cut into a safe in the church's sacristy, but there was nothing inside, according to WABC.

The Holy Eucharist, or communion, kept inside the tabernacle was also tossed all over the alter.

They also stole the security footage.

Wow, stealing from a church. I guess that would be a sure ticket to Hell.

And even decapitating an angel, too. That's really rubbing it in. I guess they wanted to solve the age old question of how many pins can dance on the head of an angel.

There is a restaurant not to far away in the village of Domme. Domme imprisoned a bunch of knights Templar when it all went belly up for them.

The jail is something of a tourist attraction, the restaurant right next door.

As an advertising gimic they have a suit of armour, dressed in white tabard with red cross stand beside the front door.

It's stood there as long as i remember, from well before we moved here so at least 10 years.

Last week some theiving ******* stole the helmet

Did you know that when he arrived at RF,
his avatar was a monkey? I gave him much
grief for this. So he became a 1500# killing
