This news article highlights a few famous painting robberies. One of them is about a man who stole the Scream by Munch. The M&M company offered 2 million M&Ms to whoever returned the missing painting. The man who stole the painting arranged for the Scream to be returned after he had been to court. The goverment was stupid and didn't give him the 2 million M&Ms because he was found guilty. How retarded?? The rest of the article was about 2 Picasso paintings that had been recently stolen and also about other criminals jacking famous paintings. There were some infamous bands of painting stealers covered including The Balkan Bandits and Bayonne Bandits. Each of these groups of people are responsible for taking a lot of famous artwork from all around Europe. The reporter who wrote the news article interviewed 4 investigators who followed well known art gangs like the Balkan Bandits. Most of the detectives said that the recent robberies were acted by the Balkans because the robberies were reported to have been spoken in Slavik German (the Balkan Bandits are known for being Slavik German). Two of the four most recently stolen paintings have already been recovered. Many of the detectives stated that the shocking thing is that in the past few years, art theives have turned to using guns and other weapons. Before, the Mafia didnt even use weapons in art robberys. I thought this was suprising. Join discussion...
