As Robert wrote, it is difficult to solve... Probably the most difficult with drawing the chronological line from which we will reconsider, where relics should be present...
I come from the country occupied trough 200 years of its history and remains of our culture are presented now almost everywhere... Archaeological remains too...
I cannot place here unequivocal opinion about these previously stolen relics present in Ermitage, Berlin and other places, but I am sure that citizens of civilizied nations should not buy any artifacts from Bulgaria, Ukraine, Moldawia or Poland, stolen by prospectors of antiquities recently...
I think, that it is mostly the problem of our consciousness then the law.
