Exactly. In 2012 seven priceless paintings (Picasso, Gauguin, Matisse, Monet) were stolen from Kunsthal museum, Rotterdam. Speculation about 'the art theft of the century' all over the place..

Appeared they were extreme amateurs that just smashed a window, carried away the paintings in the back of their car to Romania. Didn't know what to do with them, and when one of the robbers was caught, his mother burnt them all in the fireplace.

At least, I guess, these guys here could meld the gold and sell the stones individually on the black market.

It appears she did indeed go to jail, but is probably now out.

> Olga Dogaru was convicted of transporting and hiding stolen property (two years).
