Why Steal It?
By Diana Simmonds
An expert writes ... The word that springs out to me is "LITTLE".This was probably a crime of opportunity ... it is small, the guard was somewhere else, the gallery was empty (who wants to look at OLD art anyway) and a thunderclap of larceny (as well as "they should protect this stuff more effectively...look what I can do" and off the wall it goes under the Mac and out the door... Now what do I do?Can't take it back, can't sell it, BETTER GET RID OF IT! The best thing the AGNSW could do would be to publish all over "Come home, All is forgiven, Frans you won't be punished, it will be a joy just to see your blurry, brown little face again....NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!"
Another expert suggests The Chaser boys might be able to help and anyway the AG now has the extra $$ they wanted to need up security ...
