A muted Scream.

Apparently some idiots came into the Munch Museum in Oslo and stole Edvard Munch's well known painting The Scream. At gunpoint! How Hollywood is that? One of the best known paintings ever, and they steal it, right from under their noses. What do you do with such a famous and high profile painting, anyhow? The two stolen paintings were worth almost $20 million. That's a lot of cash, but you can't exactly sell it on eBay without someone noticing, can you? Of course, you could always hang it in your garage.

Good point, about the ransom. Or they could sell it to a private collecter who has no conscience. Still think it's a shame, though. Think of all the people (including me) who will never be able to see, truely see, the painting, as it was meant to be seen.

Just rob a bloody bank, or something.

That much, eh? That's a hell of a lot of money.

Excuse me, I'm off to Oslo.
