Stolen masterpieces ‘crushed by dump truck’

Five masterpieces - including works by Picasso and Matisse - were crushed in a rubbish truck after being stolen, it has been claimed.

(Full story here: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/8357840/137m-stolen-masterpieces-crushed-by-dump-truck)

I will never, ever in my life fully comprehend the mindset behind art theft.

I vomited in my mouth reading this…

Also, I’d REALLY love to go back in time and ask these artists what they’d think about people stealing their art from museums when they’re dead. Or really, the idea of paying millions of dollars for their art, but not UNTIL they’re dead.

  Fuck people who steal art. It’s meant to be admires by the masses not hoarded by the upper classes.
