At this point I can see four possible outcomes:
They get caught and the treasure is recovered.
They get away but the treasure is later recovered.
They sell the treasure to a collector, treasure is lost for decades.
They melt it down, and the treasure is completely lost.

Seems most likely either 1 or 4 with 4 being more likely cause it's why I'd go after just gold things if I was some sort of thief.
Hopefully not though!

I'd question why a thief would go for museum artifacts if that was the plan, being that shitty jewelry stores and whatnot seem easier to shake down.
