    What's the Romanian for "this lecturn has been nicked"?

    BBC News - Lectern stolen from Wiltshire church spotted in Romania

    I suppose that they may get it back eventually.

    Obviously yet another plus for an expanded europe & glasnost.

    Or something.

    No surprises it ended up in Romania!!
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

            I've never heard the word "lecturn" used in Romanian, I think you would say "podium", like in English, although there is a religious word, strană.

            Strană usually refers to the place the priest sits when he isn't doing his thing up in front of the faithful, but I think it can mean lecturn as well.

            So, you could say (based on the above) "Strana asta a fost ciordită/şterpelită"."

                  Don't ask me - I'm not Romanian and I don't have it.

                    Doesn't that translate as: "The lecturn, they go the house?"
