If sold they would get ยฃ20000-ยฃ100000
Easy pickings
Also there was a group going round all museums and stealing rhino horns
Making ยฃ20000 a time
There is always a market for these things

One reason is they are stolen to order.
Lack of security including surveillance cameras in many museums makes it easy.

Lack of security including surveillance cameras in many museums makes it easy. interesting in the sense that the thief's motive is to make quick money but for the crim who buys it from the theif....it's not about money or prestige, the stolen art has an actual use. A great documentary. |

In this case, the criminal was already wanted for other crimes. The expectation was that the art would act as a bargaining chip for a reduced sentence ie. 20 years reduced to 10 years for the return of the art.

I updated my response, but yeah that was the idea. The art was seen as a get out of jail free card.

Maybe in some cases, altho it would depend on why someone is in jail in the first place. With the rise in million and billionaires in certain countries and certain peoples desire to own an important work of art. These paintings could also be stolen to order, arranged by someone local and include in some cases corrupt local police. Where the person who actually commits the theft gets a very small amount of money for their efforts. |
