Titanic neckace stolen
The necklace was stolen on Saturday during opening hours at the exhibit hall in Tivoli park in the centre of the Danish capital, and the thief or thieves had gotten away without tripping the alarm system, Tivoli spokesman Torben Plank said on Monday.
"We think they were not professionals because there was jewellery that was much more expensive in the exhibition case," he added.
Luis Ferreiro of the Musealia company that owns the travelling exhibit said in a statement: "The precious necklace belonged to the Widener family, who were one of the richest families onboard the Titanic in 1912."
He said the piece of jewellery was worth at least 14,000 euros ($A18,000).
However, he said, "it will not be possible (for the thieves) to sell the necklace as it is known internationally".
Plank explained that the necklace had probably been owned by Eleanor Widener, who survived when the "unsinkable" Titanic went down, but rumour had it the chain was found in the pocket of a butler, whose body was fished out of the Atlantic.
Copenhagen's historic attraction park, Tivoli, has offered a $US1000 ($A975) reward for any information leading to the necklace being found.
The Titanic hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean on her maiden voyage from Southampton, southern England, to New York City in April 1912, and sank in just over two-and-a-half hours, killing around 1500 people.

Men caught with hundreds of baby alligators
The two men are charged with felony possession and capture of hatchling alligators along with misdemeanor conspiracy, according to MSNBC News. In addition, Duval was charged with possession of firearms and ammunition by a convicted felon.
There is said to be a woman who assisted the men at the boat ramp where they were later caught, but police are still further investigating the part she took in the crime.
According to the Miami Herald, the men were shining a light on the water for six hours in search of alligator hatchlings. When Duval turned over the baby alligators, the wildlife officers released them back into the water.
MSNBC News reports the possession and illegal capturing of hatchling alligators can lead to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Duval, because he was concealing a weapon and ammunition as a convicted felon, may get an addition penalty of 15 years in prison and an added fine of $10,000.

woman train survives san francisco
woman train survives san francisco
woman train survives san francisco. A woman who fell onto the tracks at the Glen Park BART station appears to be okay after seven cars of a train passed over her.
The train operator hit the emergency brakes after seeing the woman on the tracks as the train pulled into the Glen Park station at about 8:50 a.m. Thursday. Witnesses say the woman survived by lying between the rails as about seven train cars rolled over her.
By the time police and EMS crews arrived, the woman was sitting near the top of some stairs covered with soot and with her head in her hands. It's unclear how she climbed out from under the train.
Officials say the woman did exactly the right thing under the circumstances.
"If the train comes it's most likely you will survive because of the depth of the trackway between running rails," BART spokesman Linton Johnson said. "There's quite a bit of room."
The Glen Park station was closed for about an hour because of the incident. The train operator will undergo standard drug tests and be offered psychological counseling after the incident.
