Wooooooow!

wonder what the lookout was listening to on the headphones.  eh, i dont really care.  im just surprised at these thieves'/their employer's lack of taste.  picasso?  ich!  anybody hear about the dude who paid $21mil for the magna carta?

[goldpony]

while i too question the taste, i think this has more to do with value. the article said the peices were among the most expensive in the collection. anyone who pays that much for "art" is wasting their money...while i enjoi Monet immensely, i would never pay millions of dollars for one of his works even if i had the money. id rather get new pieces

[occipudding]

you're right.  it does have to do with the value.  i think the price put on that piece is more of a travesty than the actual theft itself.
