The story I found most interesting took place in Zurich. Four 19th century pieces of art were stole from a private museum in broad daylight. The three men that stole the art tossed the pieces into the back of a van and sped away. The paintings that were stolen were a Cezanne, a Degas, a van Gogh, and a Monet. Together they hold the value of an estimated $163 million. These were not the most expensive pieces in the entire collection but they were on display in the same room.
