View story The Perfect Crime: The Mystery of the Warhol Art Heist 4 / 0 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/art-crime-v... Submitted by rpanko 1 month, 1 week, 15 hours ago In mid-September, eleven priceless Andy Warhol paintings were stolen clean from the home of philanthropist Richard Weisman. After reporting the crime, Weisman is choosing to not collect the twenty-five million dollar insurance policy he had placed on the paintings. Weisman claims that he doesn't want the police prying into his and his family's personal life for the next three to five years, and that he is wealthy enough to go without the money. But people are now wondering why he placed the insurance policy to begin with. The whole fiasco has turned the supposed victim into a prime suspect for the crime.
