Art Held Hostage!


My reaction to a recent art theft in Paris in which paintings worth millions were taken was, why! Art of that caliber, art that is that well known is really hard to sell and the new owner can never display it. So I say again, why! Well according to http://www.artknowledgenews.com/, art is being held hostage and thieves are demanding ransoms for it's return, and this is probably all done with great secrecy. Well, we will have to wait for further developments.
