>The perpetrators therefore aren't complete morons; they have surely thought about what they'd do after making their getaway.

Why would they be "complete morons"? They successfully completed a quite difficult heist.

Even if they don't have a buyer lined up, this takes a lot of skill and smarts.



It was hardly a quite difficult heist. As an example of such check the helicopter robbery in Västberga in 2009 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A4stberga_helicopter_ro...).

This was a smash and grab of a church with some thought used for finding a quiet spot for the smashing part and to make a faster escape with bicycles.

It was admittedly clever to have a boat ready, since it's easy to vanish to Mälaren, make a landfall, dump the boat and switch to a getaway car.

Svenska kyrkan really needs to do a risk assessment and take this seriously, since it is not the first time and won't be the last either and relying on the good will of people is not a strategy for preventing theft of historical artefacts.
