Today I read an article concerning the recent art theft of seven paintings from Rotterdam's Kruntshal Museum that very much reminded me of a blog post I wrote back in May entitled Museum Heists in Movies. You can read the article at cbsnews.com. They even make a Pierce Brosnan reference. Two more articles, one in the Detroit Free Press entitled Dutch Art Thieves were no 'Ocean's 11' Team, and the other in the Washington Post entitled Why do people steal art?, also carry a similar message.
The main point being that museum thefts are not high-tech or cool and art thieves are not classy and sophisticated, they are thugs who steal and break things.
