Hearts Heritage Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I can't go into all the details for obvious reasons. The thief has been caught unfortunately the medals were not in his possession. However there is hope that they may be returned 'anonymously' before the trial takes place. The security at the stadium has been increased namely Locks have been changed New locks have been added Security in the big display cabinet has improved CCTV has installed All the other medals are no longer on display and have been secured elsewhere.

History should not be locked away and protected - it should be on display and protected in adequate secure display cases. When was the last time anything was reported stolen from Chamber Street? Glad they caught the guy and hopefully the medals are returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigieboy Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hearts record of preserving important historical items is woeful. I believe they lost league flags. Not a dig at anyone but these things simply shouldn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Heritage Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hearts record of preserving important historical items is woeful. I believe they lost league flags. Not a dig at anyone but these things simply shouldn't happen. For Example Wallace Mercer had no great interest in the history of the club and a vast amount of things were simply tossed in a Skip. One of The reasons for establishing the 'Heritage Group' is to ensure it never happens again, and the archive is secured and preserved for future generations.

blairdin Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I look forward to reading about this cretin in the Evening News in due course, and hope the stolen medals are returned shortly. Enjoy Saughton. More importantly, I hope the club and heritage group can find a way to display the medal collection securely. The actions of cretins shouldn't stop the majority of genuine people getting a chance to see history. Otherwise the cretins win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broughies tach Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 So the security has been ramped up yet the other medals have been removed. Am I missing something here ? Hope the proprietor of the 'alternative' Hearts museum reads this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts Heritage Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 History should not be locked away and protected - it should be on display Our ultimate goal is to have everything in the archive 'digitised' and on 'display' via an archive website similar to Everton's one. What is on physical display is only a very small percentage of the artifacts that Hearts posses. This will require funding / sponsorship. Once the Club is out of administration we will be seeking that. protected in adequate secure display cases. It comes down to funding, we have a limited budget so having individual secure cases would mean other activities would not be carried out. When was the last time anything was reported stolen from Chamber Street? It is a Museum with numerous dedicated security mechanisms. I'm not sure we would hear about it if it did happen.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I am guessing that the thief has been told it will help his case -both legal and in public- if the items are returned. This would encourage the guy to make some calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
