Read all about it Wow; where to start. A museum in Toledo, Ohio was trying to lend a painting by Goya to the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. It seems to me a sophisticated transport plan would have been in order, but instead they just hired two goofs with a Uhaul to transport the priceless piece. The goofs were spending the night in a Howard Johnson motel and parked the truck in an unlighted, unguarded lot locked with a padlock they got on sale from WalMart (I'm just sayin'). I had heard the Goya was stolen, but I didn't realize the Keystone Cops were transporting the painting. I imagined some elaborate Brinks heist with thieves in black masks rappelling down the side of the armored vehicle and surprising the transporters despite their highly alert efforts. But alas, the thieves needed no such elaborate plan; only a pair of bolt cutters (from WalMart) to pop the cargo latch and sneak off with something they later found to be un-hawkable. I almost feel sorry for those guys... they should ask the Keystone Cops to be reimbursed for their troubles.
