Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
The Rembrandt painting "Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee" was his only seascape. Also, the paintings were razor bladed out of their frames - irreparably damaging the artwork. A total sacrilege - the thieves should receive the most severe punishment if they are ever caught. 🖼 🎨 🖌
I've thought for years the thieves must be crude and stupid if they folded or rolled up the paintings. The paint on the canvas would probably crack and chip.
I been to this museum last month. It's definitely an inside job. No way you cab Rob that place and nobody see anything. It's downtown and right across the street from a college.
Good question. Would be easier for cops to get a hold of drugs / money easier than trying to pull off a heist than try to sell it. Easier to sell drugs taking from dealers than it is to call your best friend and ask if they wanna buy a Vermeer. They also know the 2 guys who pulled off the heist they both died shortly after . One got murdered and stuffed in to a trunk.
They say they know who did it but they're not gonna release the Information who did it, because they're informant would be compromised but I think it's an inside job! I've heard of this high speed 4 but Didn't know too much as detailed, But learned a lot more about this heist on "Things I've learned last night Podcast!"
who needs a 4 part/6 hour netflix doc when you have this!
Those who talk don't know; those who know don't talk.
What's funny is that Netflix show had Myles Connor and behind him was all the horses he owned.
Thieves and mobsters are the lowest of the low.
There are ways to make them talk.

This heist was probably inspired by the film The Hot Rock.
Why is no one asking if the cops were involved?

The guard was so dumb, who did he think called the police?
Do u think security guard rick abath have something to do with the heist,does he have the brain or courage to pull out this kind of robbery
i think they just paid him to open door and keep mouth shut
He got his cash
It could have been drug debts at the time too. The NPR podcast on this a few years back spends a lot of time talking about the guard.
THIS PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH I HATE AND DESPIES AND HATE THIEVES WITH A PASSION
Same to u

This video neglected to mention the finial taken from a flag.

@@zazz8 Oops, you're right.
Somewhere in Saudia those pictures are there. JUST A THOUGHT.
50k and I'll share the information of the heist and you get to keep the 5m award

Hacked out with box cutters.
