The second opening occurred, after a thief had broken unto the base of the Pra Pratan Buddha Image of the Uposadha of Wat Bang Grating, and stolen many amulets, along with the original Mae Pim Block Press Mold which was also discovered in the original discovery.

And so, the temple reopened the Kru Chamber, to release the rest of the amulets to the public in order to prevent any ore thieves from stealing them.
