From CNN:
"....Three masked men stole four Impressionist paintings worth about $163 million in a heist Swiss police characterized as "spectacular."
The three men entered the E.G. Buehrle Collection in Zurich, Switzerland, at around 4:30 p.m.
One of the men threatened personnel at the museum's front door with a pistol and forced them to the ground, while the other two men went into an exhibition room and stole four oil paintings by Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh.
Afterward, the three men loaded the paintings into a white car parked in front of the museum and then drove off."
This is a "spectacular" heist? This was a corner store stick-up. 3 guys, a gun and a van. Wow. Spectacular. They walked in the front door with guns. Their van was parked right out front. A WHITE van. That must have been really hard to spot.
The Swiss need to start watching The Wire. If Omar gets a whiff of this he'll be picking off their re-ups in no time.
