- jmdwinter, on 06/12/2009, -0/+4Oh my! Wikipedia says that Stéphane Breitwieser's mother destroyed ALL the artworks coz she was 'angry at her son'. The total value lost:$1.4bn. What a nice old lady...

- ParticleMan420, on 06/12/2009, -0/+3they left out that one time that Hudson Hawk stole the Da Vinci Codex
- johnwes16, on 06/12/2009, -0/+2Of course you can... if you have the right connections. Black Market art for private collections is a reality. I believe there is also a statute of limitations that comes into play.
- rusty11, on 06/12/2009, -1/+3You hang it in the basement silly!!
- AROZ, on 06/12/2009, -0/+2I think I'd really enjoy having The Scream.
- zebulon81, on 06/11/2009, -1/+3What do you do with it after it's stolen. YOu can't sell it to anyone else, can you?

Trent might have been right. - FI5HERMAN, on 06/12/2009, -0/+1I find you do not hear that much art theft on more , not saying they do not do it still, the world appears to focus more on internet related issues now !!!
- navidb, on 06/12/2009, -0/+1Look at the third painting, it looks like Rocky Balboa in drag! hahahhah i can't stop laughing at this.
- finger11, on 06/12/2009, -1/+2Thomas Crown is to blame.
- deslock, on 06/12/2009, -0/+1Wow, I can't believe they left out the largest most elaborate one of them all... the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum. 13 paintings, involving thieves that created uniforms, did the change of guard timing, knocked someone out, bypassed security countermeasures and cut the paintings out of the frames so they could steal more of them and get away easier.
Never recovered. More than a decade later, the painting frames are still on the walls there with a plaque noting they were stolen and when. Sad.

- dollar0dot02, on 06/12/2009, -1/+2Good artists borrow - great artists steal.
- jzou87, on 06/14/2009, -0/+0I was gonna say something about the achievements of Picasso and how much he has contributed to art but after a second look, it DOES look like Rocky in drag. Good eye. Ha ha ha
- tehknotte, on 06/12/2009, -2/+2"Go figure, Breitweiser wrote an autobiography in 2006." what a ***** stupid rat bastard. anything to make money. first being an art thief and then making a stupid book about being an art thief.
- MarkusDee, on 06/12/2009, -2/+2I can't help but cheer for art thieves, just so long as they aren't hurting anyone (e.g. brandishing guns and threatening people).
- mattrmcg, on 06/12/2009, -2/+1I knew a guy who stole a Dali sculpture....then returned it a day later
- tehknotte, on 06/12/2009, -4/+2k so basically your comment is saying he didn't want to make money? one of the things i hate about the internet is people like you who think they are smart and have good thing to point out but are often full of fail.
- Chibeli, on 06/12/2009, -3/+1I wish The Scream had never been recovered. Call me unappreciative of good art, but I never liked it and think people make way too big a deal about it.
- asgardshill, on 06/12/2009, -4/+1I knew a guy who stole a priceless Ming Dynasty vase....then returned 30 minutes later and stole another.
