I just heard about this, unbelievable, I hope they take care of it while its in their possession, a holes:


If any painting could express its opinion about being stolen, while being stolen, Edvard Munch's "The Scream" is surely the one. Late Sunday morning, armed robbers broke into the Munch Museum in Oslo and took "The Scream" and Munch's "Madonna." The security cordon the thieves had to run was not overwhelming. There were apparently no safeguards at all, beyond wires that attached the paintings to the wall. When they were broken, it set off an alarm that was every bit as soundless as the scream in "The Scream."

AND I read that is wasn't insured AT ALL.

They said something about it being priceless and they were unable to determine an amount to insure it for. Seems like they would've PROTECTED it a little better.

Idiots.

holy crap welcome to yesterday.

I don't watch the news or read the newspaper very often...it's depressing and I hate the media and their bs. I was just really shocked to see that someone would or COULD do it...not everyone is an upstanding, respectable citizen such as myself I guess...

I think I saw 74 million was the worth...not sure if that was both paintings or just the Scream. that's rm's little version of the scream...

a few more facts.
This is the second time "the scream" has been stolen in 10 years.
Previously the theives held it for ransom and when nobody paid, they simply returned it. Authorities believe these guys are going to have a tough time selling it because of it's popularity....

jest da faks mam.

I know...who's gonna buy it...and then they'll get busted if they try to collect ransom...what a bunch of tools. I just hope they don't do anything stupid like accidentally sit on it or something and trash it...

[Transcend]

it was insured, but not against theft. Way to go guys!

 

[Thundrbucket]

For those who don't have daily updates of norwegian news:

The paintings were insured, but not for theft, only for damages caused to them inside the museum, fire etc.

Supposedly the thieves have now sold the two paintings to an unknown(doh) buyer for 1 million NOK, which would be the equivalent of ca 150 000 USD$

Ah, I love perfect timing!

I would steal those paintings and trade them for a couple sets of those cool viking horns.
