The Scream stolen
Comments: 3
Edvard Munch’s painting, The Scream, has been stolen from its museum in Norway. Two masked thieves apparently just pulled it and another painting, Madonna, right off the wall in front of visitors. From the BBC:
One robber threatened staff with a gun before the pair escaped in a waiting car, a museum officer told the BBC.
The painting was stolen a decade ago and was missing for three months before being recovered. Three Norwegians were arrested in connection with that theft.

There all, at least, five other pintings of The Scream… and three or four more of Madonna… I think the Audi A6 they left behind would get a better ransom!
