The 7 Greatest Art Heists in the World

forbes.com — Art heists are probably as old as art itself. The modern era dates to the 1911 theft of the "Mona Lisa," when the self-styled Marques Eduardo de Valfierno paid three men to steal it from the Louvre in Paris. It's usually seen as the first great art heist of the 20th century. Since that time, countless works of major and minor art have been stolen.

  • PurgueFlantar, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1It's only a matter of time before Diggers wise up and stop submitting (or Digging) Forbes articles. After that time Forbes will change their horrific "Top 7" slideshow format but by then it will be to late no one will submit their articles anymore.

    One can dream....

  • ThePenrod, on 06/11/2008, -0/+1Does anyone else really hate Forbes' Top (insert number) lists for separating each point into it's own individual page? It doesn't even make sense. They only write a paragraph for each.
