A DARING ART HEIST in
A DARING ART HEIST in Vienna:
Thieves stole the sculpture from its glass display case after smashing a window to get into the museum, police said.
"The thieves climbed up some scaffolding to the first floor of the building, broke a window and climbed in," a police spokesman said.
"They shattered the glass display case and took the sculpture."
"There were movement sensors all over the place - we are currently investigating why the alarm did not go off."
It should be obvious to any student of
museum criminology that this is the culprit. The pattern is identical.
