'''Church raiding''' or '''temple raiding''' is a form of theft, usually involving breaking into a church or other place of worship overnight and stealing items from it. ==Examples== *Organized criminals such as the [[Mafia]], the [[Russian Mafia]], the [[Triad]], the [[Yakuza]], and the [[North Korean Mob]] sometimes raid churches in order to steal gold, money from donation boxes, or even Bibles in order to make illegal copies off of them for money. *During WWII, Nazis stole from Catholic and Orthodox churches as well as Jewish synagogues in Eastern Europe. *[[Attila the Hun]] and other related people would “take the spoils” from churches.
