When the Hope Diamond was being transported from South Africa to England, the authorities published a detailed plan of how they were going to ensure it's security. The diamond would be kept in a locked strong-box, then carried on a combination of sea and rail, accompanied at all times by two armed guards.

Then they put the diamond in the post and mailed it.

Didn’t they also still actually send a decoy package in a sting box on sea and rail, with armed guards though?
