TO GO WITH AFP STORY: IRELAND-BRITAIN-HISTORY-CRIME-JEWELS BY ANDREW BUSHE The Garda museum in Dublin Castle is pictured in Ireland, February 6, 2008. The theft of Ireland's "crown jewels" still tantalizes -- and is still unsolved. The gems would be worth millions today had they not vanished in 1907 four days before a state visit by then King Edward VII of Britain, said Irish historian Sean Murphy who has released a new review of the case. "It is a detective story that will probably never have a resolution," he told AFP. The mystery popped back into the news recently after the safe that held the jewels, known as the regalia of the Illustrious Order of St Patrick, was moved to the Irish police, or Garda, museum where it is now on public display.
