Obviously the thieves weren't after them for any mundane value they possessed. <insert story about occult conspiracy theory here> (Back when I ran tabletop RPGs, this is exactly the sort of thing the PCs would have done.)

I toured Castle Edinburgh a couple of days ago, and I had this exact thought when looking at a wand amongst the Scottish Crown Jewels.

Somebody really sucks at their job of protecting Swedish crowns.

Since they successfully absconded with the jewels I'm going to guess they had more of a plan than simply "have an escape vehicle."

Just because that's the only part of their planning that we know of doesn't mean that it's the only planning that they actually did.
