I saw a story on TV this morning about an art heist - a bunch of paintings stolen years ago - where a man believed to have critical info on the heist had just died, taking that information with him to the grave. That story got me to thinking; Why do people steal paintings?? What do you do with stolen paintings? Do you take them home and hang them in your living room, and hope your friends don't recognize them as stolen? I guess, a lot of times they're sold off to other crooks. But in the end, what's the point? Maybe they end up in mancaves of the 'rich and famous'. Maybe those 'rich and famous' don't rat one another out? Or do you have to be an art connoisseur to understand? 🙃
