Beefeaters not to blame over Tower of London keys theft | UK news | The Guardian

QuoteIt emerged on Monday that instead of a night in the dungeon or a trip through Traitors' Gate, guards at the royal palace mistakenly released a night intruder they found prowling in the grounds and missed the fact that he had stolen a set of keys to drawbridges and other locks at the supposedly closely-guarded home of the Queen's crown jewels.

QuoteThe Tower authorities sheepishly admitted that instead of getting to the bottom of what he was doing there in the small hours of the night and what might have been in his pockets, the guard simply led him from the premises and let him go.

The embarrassing result is that the thief remains on the loose, the keys are nowhere to be found and the red-faced managers of the royal palace are contemplating a bill of several thousand pounds for changing the locks.
