The idea of art theft seems like something of movie fiction, and a high class sort of crime. But I can't halp but wonder what sort of persons buys stolen art? It's not as though you could display it publicly, and if you can't show off what you own, what joy do you get from it?
The recent theft(s) of Munsch's The Scream, have been noteworthy, and in today's New York Sun comes notice of a Goya painting stolen while enroute from one museum to another.
As an art lover, and someone who has spent more money than I should (or even could) for original works of art, I don't understand art theft.

Yeah, but you should see the Monet I've got hanging in my bathroom.
Is that where "Lillypad on a Cesspool" ended up?
