From the article:
A recently excavated ancient Serbian Roman artifact, a stone slab covered with engraved Latin text, has been stolen only 24 hours after it was discovered. The rare Roman artifact was discovered on Friday, July 10, 2020, during road construction works leading to the Vinča landfill site. According to a report on Archaeology News Network one of the road workers informed the National Museum in Belgrade about the remarkable finding, however, when a museum archaeologist arrived at the site the next morning the Serbian Roman artifact had vanished without a trace.
