Several jewelry items worth up to $63,000 were stolen from the British Museum in London.
A museum curator suspected of being behind the thefts was fired, and police are investigating.
Some of the items were worth up to £50,000, or approximately $63,000, and were listed on eBay for as little as £40, or $50, according to British newspaper The Telegraph.
An independent review is underway to establish what is missing, attempting to recover the missing items and preventing future thefts.
A spokesman for the British Museum told the paper: "We have conducted a thorough investigation, identified the person we believe to be responsible, and that person has been dismissed.
