This is just horrible.
From Indy Star: FBI agents Wednesday removed "thousands" of cultural artifacts, including American Indian items, from the private collection of a 91-year-old Rush County man who had acquired them over the past eight decades.
An FBI command vehicle and several tents were spotted at the property in rural Waldron, about 35 miles southeast of Indianapolis.
However, the FBI was careful not to say whether they believed the man, Don Miller, had knowingly broken any laws. The FBI's aim is to catalog the artifacts and return them to their countries of origin.
"We're collecting and analyzing with the goal of repatriation," FBI Special Agent Drew Northern said...
FBI agents are working with art experts and museum curators, and neither they nor Jones would describe a single artifact involved in the investigation, but it is a massive collection. Jones added that cataloging of all of the items found will take longer than "weeks or months."...
Jones acknowledged that Miller might have acquired some of the items before the passage of U.S. laws or treaties prohibited their sale or purchase...
The FBI and its partners might have a daunting task determining the origins and provenance of all of the items, Thom predicted.
"It may be 30 years — or never — before they have it all cataloged."

So the FBI Gestapo busts in, takes over this man's land and house, even though there is no evidence of a crime being committed.
Then they decide that it may take 30 years to cataglog the items?
This is a money grab on somebody's part and it is abuse of the criminal justice system.
This is the FBI and Federal government and private party Gestapo at work.
Eric Holder must be proud of his Brownshrts.
