The Norwegians seem to be having a hard time holding onto Edvard Munch's paintings. Earlier today both "The Scream" and "Madonna" were stolen at gunpoint from the Munch museum in Oslo. Strangely enough, it's the ten year anniversary of the last Munch theft. From the NYT

that stuff is always hilarious .. i mean what're they gonna do, put it in their living room, and when guests come over, say "whatdyou think nice little paintin' huh?"
or are they gonna go into a dark alley and sell it to the MoMA?
... but i guess it's a nice 15 minutes of fame.
Its more than that; Didn't you see all the Ripley movies? There are a couple of members of the artistic intellegencia who would be more than happy to have it quietly hanging in the den. Hell, we might even see the rebirth of NEST, provided it passes through the right hands. That's the kind of white collar crime I almost support!
