From Yahoo News:
Armed robbers have stolen art worth $100 million, including works by Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh, from a Zurich museum, police said Monday.

The Zurich police said the robbery took place Sunday. Also among the works stolen were oil paintings by Paul Cezanne and Edgar Degas.

Police called the heist a "spectacular art robbery," but did not identify the museum, saying only that it is in the city's eighth district.

Last week, Swiss police reported that two Pablo Picasso paintings were stolen from a Swiss exhibition near Zurich. The two oil paintings, "Tete de cheval" ("Head of horse") and "Verre et pichet" ("Glass and pitcher"), were on loan from the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany.


Frigg! Works by Monet, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Degas?! *sob*
Great, a spectacular art robbery. I don't want to hear that. How about a spectacular security system that stopped the attempted art robbers in their tracks. Those poor paintings are out there with who knows what sort of riff-raff right now. Wah!!!
