The issue of why someone is stealing it is a good question.
My thoughts... Option 1: To hold it for ransom. 'Course, that's what happened the last time, and it didn't work out too well. Option 2: To sell it on the open black market. Well, as has been pointed out, it is rather famous, so selling it will be difficult. Option 3: To sell it to a prearranged buyer. IOW, someone offered to pay for it ahead of time. Most practical, since you don't have to find a buyer. Obviously, this would be a very private collection... Option 4: the secret message thing. Hey, when you've had enough to drink, anything sounds good [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img] It will be interesting to see what happens.

nope, you guys have it all wrong, the reason it was stolen is because the Aliens Abuducted it, because it is the only interesting thing left on the planet [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Ah, perhaps this group has learnt from the other groups mistakes?

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but that version of The Scream that was stolen recently was not the same one that was stolen in 1994. According to the news I saw, there were 3 different versions of The Scream.
Now, back to lax security as a topic. |

I just finished DVC, but it's more of an Alias "Rambaldi artifacts hidden in artwork" influence at work than "Message scrawled on frame" thing. My friends and I are watching the first two seasons, you see, so I'm just dripping with conspiracy theories at this point.
