i know!
and to put it in a low security museum too
*sigh*
I love Munch's Scream paintings , at the rate they are stolen there is no point putting them in higher security galleries . It would only end up costing more than the general ransom for there return in extra security and damaged goods . They are impossible to sell on and are used for things like drug cartels bartering there way out of drug deals gone bad . I'm more intrigued by the fact that the last one was stolen during the last lot of Olympics . Coincedence ?
They are a beautiful set of paintings .
