I got this news from omega7ven and was shock to hear that. Who would think of doing unthinkable act like that. I bet the thief is not a true buddhist.
How sad.
How sad.

Gautama Buddha's sacred tooth was presented to the Burmese government by China in 1994. The presentation was part of a programme of friendly cooperation between the two countries.
The sacred tooth replica given its religious and historic value, was enshrined in the Buddha's Replica Tooth Relic Pagoda, Rangoon on Dhammapala Hill in Mayangone Township.
The pagoda is near the residence of the head of the military junta Senior Gen. Than Shwe and is located in the same ward where he stays.
A tight security cordon has been thrown around the area. Investigations are on.">Lord Buddha's Tooth in Burma Stolen: "Lord Buddha's Tooth in Burma Stolen
