The Great Media Art Heist!

I don't normally get to write about art heists and who knows if I ever will again, but what comes to mind, in a unique situation like this, is Inspector Clouseau and the hilarious calamity he always brought to the crime scene.  So here's my chance.

Here in Media, we recently experienced a dastardly act that entailed the theft of a well known Picasso painting.  Okay, so it was a replica on loan from the Philadelpha Art Museum; but still, it's a Picasso, a theft and an intriguing crime scene that just might even be worthy of Inspector Clouseau.

How could anyone think they could walk away scot-free with a painting while sitting underneath a surveillance camera?  Perhaps the addition of alcohol allowed for the courage to make this heist seem possible?  Either way, for the sake of nice gestures by the Philadelphia Art Museum, lets hope it's returned soon.

  1. Well, if there is a "surveillance camera" where is the video of the dastardly deed?

  2. If they cant find 'Hudson Hawk' at that range what good are the cameras doing?- and how much did they cost again? And who puts an original Picasso outside anyway? (JK)

  5. That Picasso looks real good in my basement. When I took it I mooned the survelillance camera. The mayor dropped by and remarked that I had great taste in art. He said I should run for borough council.
