Fields Medal, known as math's Nobel Prize, stolen from winner's briefcase

One of the winners of a prestigious award for mathematics had his gold medal stolen only minutes after receiving it. Caucher Birkar, a Kurdish refugee who teaches math at Cambridge University in England, was one of four people honored with a Fields Medal. After his win, he put the award into his briefcase, which disappeared less than an hour later. Tanya Rivero has more.

What's the probability of that happening?

[@u.v.s.5583]

To give you a range, the probability is higher than in Paris, lower than in Moscow.
