Thieves broke into the Elvis Presley museum in Las Vegas earlier this week and made off with bounty worth over $300,000 (£180,000).
The raid, at Elvis-A-Rama, took just five minutes as the criminals rammed a back door of the museum with a stolen truck, then used lead pipes to break into three display cases.
They made off with rings, a gold-plated pistol and other belongings, according to Rolling Stone.
However, the museum staff were relieved to discover that one of their most prized possessions ? a pair of blue suede shoes ? were left untouched.
The museum was established by Elvis devotee Chris Davidson in 1999. His collection, built up over many years, houses more than 2,000 pieces.
