Paris art museum theft



Back in may of this year five paintings where stolen from the Luvere in Paris France. These included works by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse ,Georges Braque, Amedeo Modigliani and Fernand Léger. The value of the paintings was 100 million euros or 138.2 million US dollars. The theft is currently still being investigated by the Brigade de Répression du Banditisme, France's elite police armed robbery unit.
Okay its so not happy to steal famous art works. At least they had the common decency to take them out of the frames careful rather than slice them out for convince. So where ever they are at least as far as we know they are in tact.
