Last Thursday A lone thief – probably not Thomas Crown – in a brazen overnight theft has stolen five paintings worth a total of $613 million. This includes works by some pretty big names in the art world.

The paintings were reported missing from the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, across the Seine River from the Eiffel Tower. The museum has been cordoned off.
One masked intruder was caught on a video surveillance camera entering the museum by a window and taking away “Le pigeon aux petits-pois” by Pablo Picasso, “Pastoral“ by Henri Matisse, “Olive Tree near Estaque” by Georges Braque, “Woman with a Fan” by Amedeo Modigliani and “Still Life with Chandeliers” by Fernand Leger.
