The Egypt Independent is reporting that an attempted theft has been foiled at Silsileh quarry near Kom Ombo.  Very pleasingly the guards who prevented the theft have been rewarded, definitely a welcome development.

Allegedly those arrested were trying to steal a bas-relief panel of King Merenptah presenting Mayet.  The panel suffered some scratches and holes but remains in situ.
