Heist. One masked man steals five museum masterpieces including a Picasso. Who could pull that off? Finally tonight police in Paris are scratching their heads고심하다 after an audacious대담한 theft of five very valuable paintings from an art museum. Amazingly they say the heist was the work of one person. And Miguel Marquez is on the trail of the thief in Paris.
As in the movie “The Thomas crown affair,” the robbery happened under the noses of police security and the entire city. The robber broke in through a window, then cut a log자르다 on a metal grate쇠살대, then he went shopping. On one side of the museum, the Picasso. All the way on the other side, the Modigiani. He chose each piece with care, then frames in all, each great work went out the window. Once cut from their frames, each master work was rolled up and the burglar절도범 went off into the Paris night.
And finally tonight a heist that would make the “Pink Panther” proud. It happened after hours at a museum in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. By morning, Mark Phillips reports major works by Picasso and Matisse were missing. And a worldwide manhunt was on. The horse had long bolted소 잃고 외양간 고치다 by the time police were shutting the barn door광문 at the Paris museum of modern art examining the discarded버려진 frames of the stolen art works. It’s the kind of heist for which the term “brazen”뻔뻔한 was invented. Picasso’s “the pigeon with the peas”. Matisse’s “pastoral”. Three other famous paintings by Braque, Modigliani and Leger. Estimated value if they could be sold? Well, over $100 million.
Police said the thief or thieves simply cut a padlock통자물쇠 and broke a window to get in last night. No alarm went off. Three guards inside apparently heard nothing. No leads, just speculation. Julian Radcliff keeps tabs on stolen art for galleries and collectors worldwide. “Those who steal the art won’t put them up for public sale.” Especially if the stolen art is so well known. Charlie Hill is a transplanted American, Ex-London cop who has recovered several famous stolen paintings including Monk’s the “Scream” lifted in a second story job from Oslo’s art museum in 1994. The art theft world, Hill says, is not like in the movies.
