Belgian Diamond Theft estimated at $100 Million

ABC News reports: Belgian Diamond Theft Estimated at $100M.

Here's an excerpt:

Authorities put a price tag of $100 million Thursday on the jewels, gold and securities stolen this month in what is widely considered to be the theft of the century in Antwerp, the world's diamond-cutting capital. Police are still looking for the goods taken from 123 of the 160 high-security vaults at Antwerp's Diamond Center and the burglars who actually broke into the building Feb. 16.

Is there some type of special marking on each item so if someone tried to sell it, they could get caught?

Were any diamonds from this theft ever recovered?
