Something is missing, could it be a proposition, etc.?

Question

I found this phrase in a CD I am both listening/reading.

automáticamente quedaban selladas las salidas en el perímetro de la galería objeto del robo.

I wonder why these two italized nouns are closely together?

I suspect objeto is an adjective attached to galería but but they are mixed genders so they are not related.

I found this structure unfamiliar and do you think there must be a preposition between them or something?

Could there be some grammar rule to the effect that during this situation, there is no need to insert something because it is already implied?

Could it read like: "...around the gallery where the object was taken"?

I wish I am lucky today to get an answer this time from the hundreds of grammar gurus who lurk in this site.

Answer 1

automáticamente quedaban selladas las salidas en el perímetro de la galería objeto del robo My translation: the exits were automatically sealed in the perimeter of the gallery which was robbed. In this case I am thinking 'objeto' is a noun so more word to word - the gallery subject to the robbery...

I think it just needs a comma, ... the gallery, object of the robbery. (like an appositional phrase or a parenthetical modification) - 0074b507, Jan 9, 2011

Margaret, it's like the dust has been cleared from my windshield. Your word for word translation is amazing, if the translation machine could have interpreted it the way you did...I wish again somebody would explain this sentence structure more. - babalou, Jan 9, 2011
