Interesting Stolen Art story

Having just been in Paris we heard about this story from our friend Deborah. You may find it interesting as well.

FAMOUS PAINTING STOLEN

A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre.

After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van.

However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.

When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and the make such an obvious error, he replied,

"Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings.

I had no Monet

to buy Degas

to make the Van Gogh"

And yes we did have the De Gaulle to post this to our blog for we had nothing Toulouse.

Thanks (or blame) goes to Deborah for the bad joke.
