#23. The "Takeaway Rembrandt" is Stolen Four Times

#23. The "Takeaway Rembrandt" is Stolen Four Times

Stolen: Rembrandt, "Jacob De Gheyn III"
Location: London, England
Year: August 1981
Worth: N/A

Nothing is stolen more than Young Berg's chain but this Rembrandt portrait comes close. This painting was first stolen from the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, but it was later recovered in a taxi. It has been stolen a total of four times, and no one has ever been apprehended—it has always just "shown up". After the taxi find, it later turned up in a luggage rack at a British army post train station in Germany, another time underneath a graveyard bench in Streatham, and the final time on the back of the bicycle. Get this thing its own security detail, people!

    First off this is a pretty terrible article, its is interesting but some one who reads this article will most likely want to hear what happened to the painting, how it was stole or how the authority's have no idea wtf happened. Instead this article is a complete let down it says the very lest amount about each heist possible and a in a few case nothing about the heist at all. Secondly, who gave the writer of this article this list of heist? because its utterly uninteresting these are some of the lamest heist I've ever heard off and as someone who is pretty well verst in art history I have to say check your facts some of these aren't even true.

    While I agree with your sentiment Steven, you have the spelling and grammer of someone severely mentally challenged.

      While I agree with you, doctor, I must point out that you spelled GRAMMAR wrong. That might be the funniest shit I have seen in a while. Irony is a bitch.
