Edward Munch's "The Scream" stolen
 
the piece of art was stolen in norway by a group of face covered guys, who entered the museum and threatened everyone there and took the paintings- they also stole the "maddona"... the painting (scream) is valued in 66 million dollars...

Yeah, I read about this- surprised it didnt get more coverage. Never to be seen again, I suppose.

hmmmm... well they have 3 possibilities for what to do with it basically basically..

1.)Sell it to a collector - Highly Improbable though, since its one of the most know paintings of all time..no one would buy it, and if they did, who would they show it to?

2)Use it as payment in between gangs - may be the case here, since the robbers were so desperate...maybe they can use it to pay for sth..what it is, nobody knows...

3)Ransom it - possible, but the museum probably wouldn't pay...you see, the thing about stealing art is, if no one puts a price on it, it's worthless...

it will probably just turn up....who knows in what condition (since the robber was rushedly taking the frames off...)

we just have to wait and see....

It's a real shame that it got stolen. I hope it turns up again undamaged.

Let's hope it doesn't go the way of all the Babylonian artifacts... :|

nah thats sad, why would ppl want to steal a peice of art that is loved by so many, its not like it will be easy to unload anywhere..

FordGTGuy 08-24-2004 03:15 PM

and then disgrace the painting by running away in a mini-van or something.

FordGTGuy 08-24-2004 09:59 PM
