That's Why We Can't Have Nice Things.

Ah, its good to see thieves getting back to basics.  A gang of masked robbers stole 4 paintings at gunpoint from a museum in Nice.  Those inside jobs are so played out and boring, how about a little gun waving and thrilling escapes?  Of course there wasn't any planning involving a Trojan horse and cutting security wires or disabling cameras.  The museum doesn't have any.  Ouch, are you guys serious?  No wonder these things get stolen so much.

Official statements indicate that the paintings probably won't be sold but were stolen for someone's personal collection.  Hmm... If I learned anything from the Thomas Crowne Affair, this was just a cover for a different and more interesting crime somewhere else in the museum.  These four will turn up but you'll find that Magritte curiously missing.
