Also that pedophilia and genocide are bad things. I was apparently wrong that these were universally agreed to be negative things

The sentiment that pedophilia isn't all that bad is fairly new but we've been turning a blind eye to genocide through pretty much all of human history, sadly enough.

I'm not sure about that. 20 or 30 years ago rock bands had underage groupies and it was common knowledge.

MiaowaraShiro Mar 31, 2026 +3

Most of the conservatives I've spoken to agree that those are bad things, they just abjectly deny that they're happening/happened. They're mostly not aggressively immoral. (eg registered KKK member for example) They're passively immoral through a lot of ignorance and xenophobia. They allow immorality through lack of curiosity and fear of being victimized. You gotta realize they get their information filtered through their news bubble. They don't see the awful stuff we see. Fox news doesn't show them the Epstein files... that's just a MSM hoax. Even if OANN is forced to report on something negative, they're gonna tell the sheep what to think about it. The other kind does exist, but I find for the most part it's a lot more banal. It's mostly just people who are too captured to even know what's going on and too scared to consider they might be wrong.

During my stint delivering for dominos, I got into areas that were shut off by police/fire as part of disaster recovery. I got easy access to back areas of offices, stores, auto dealerships, and government buildings. All those "don't hold the door for folks" training videos go out the window when you're wondering if the pizza is for *your team*. Smoked up many times - I encouraged this at the time, pulling lines like "anything green is a good tip". Offered (and refused) harder drugs. Had customers try to f*** me a couple times. Never say never... but it's never the ones you'd want that pull that shit. The store had an (obviously not formal) policy of welcoming noobs with a blunt behind the dumpster. And yes, in retrospect I should not have been driving stoned. I haven't pulled that shit in over a decade and would never, these days. Uhh... IDK if there was a concentrated story in there. Whatever, happy to share more tales if there's interest.

I would assume the people that spend the effort and risk doing these heists already have a fence ready. There's got to be plenty of rich assholes that think it would look great in their yacht. So I guess they just have to find a rich a****** that doesn't give a shit about the law. Wait, did we start out here by saying this was the hard part?

30

Wiseduck5 Mar 30, 2026 +8

There aren't that many rich assholes who want a painting they can never show to anyone, ever.

8

I_am_not_JohnLeClair Mar 30, 2026 +10

They show it to other rich assholes to “one up” them. Then, that other rich a****** demands one…or two

10

Wiseduck5 Mar 30, 2026 +2

And then their rich a****** rivals can rat them out. The risk is just really high. There’s a reason a lot of stolen art ends up destroyed.

upgrayedd69 Mar 30, 2026 +8

If snitches get stitches in poor crime, what makes you think it’s any better with rich crime? If you are in position for some billionaire to be showing off his stolen painting, you probably have more than enough to lose by being a tattletale

Cloverleafs85 Mar 31, 2026 +1

Based on interviews with people who specialize in recovering stolen artwork, there isen't a lot of rich people hiring clever thieves to do their bidding. If you exclude exceptional circumtances where there is nationally organized theft of artworks, like what happened during WWII, or nationalistic inspired thefts, such as some bloke stealing the Mona Lisa to take it to Italy, such thefts are pretty much like most others thefts. The antiquities black-market is something of a different beast, but when it comes to paintings etc., truly one of a kind, it's usually more generalized thieves or opportunist who see an easy mark, dazzled by price estimates and only later figure out they can't sell it anywhere. At which point museums hope a finder's reward or an amnesty arrangement of 'just send it back to us and we won't ask questions' might get them back. This has actually occasionally worked. There has been on rare occasions sting operations where art theft investigators pose as potential buyers and manage to recover some of the works. The alternatives tend to be the thieves just stuffing the paintings in attics, under beds, in basements etc, and museums are still hoping decades lost paintings might one day show up again when someone unrelated to the theft discovers it when clearing up an estate or similar. What they dread though is that what quite a few of the thieves do is simply destroy the artworks. Contrary to popular opinion, your average art thief is not some better class of criminals. They generally aren't connoisseurs or savvy heisters who would balk at destroying art history when they figure out they can't get money for it and are just left with evidence of a crime. The value of artworks sold to museums are not in the same realm as what an artwork could be sold for on the black market. Legally sold/purchased artworks can be authenticated and, quite crucially, insured. You can't insure a stolen Renoir as a Renoir worth of painting. And you can't get proper reputable authenticators who can tell you your stolen Renoir is really a Renoir and not some copy fobbed on you. And you can't resell it and liquidate your investment if necessary for any sum that reflects the goods value, because who else would pay a premium on something they can't insure or authenticate, that has a picture of it on Interpol's stolen artworks list, and that would be confiscated as stolen goods if discovered? All this is also why they assume most stolen jewelry and antiques in precious metals and jewels end up destroyed. Because broken down they can't easily be identified, and you can sell them as parts and material. It would only be at a fraction of what they are worth as historical objects, but no thief would ever get their full value anyway, and again, they generally do not care about destroying art or history. They'll take what they can get.

Mundane-Effective133 Mar 30, 2026 +5

Article mentions it. > “Let’s say the pieces are insured for €9m, the museum could offer the public half a million to come forward with information,” said Marinello. “The thieves might then call and pretend they know someone who knows where the paintings are. The police instruct the museum to get in contact with them if it has any contact from anyone, and they take the next step, which can sometimes lead to a sting operation.”

Sometimes the intention is to ransom it back to the museum.

earthhominid Apr 1, 2026 +1

I read a book this year called The Goldfinch that dealt with stolen art. In it, stolen paintings were used as sort of collateral or non-currency value tokens in the high level criminal world. It was interesting and I'd never thought of that and have wondered since if that actually happens.

The last time I went to Britain, neither I nor my family went through immigration somehow. We're all British citizens, but literally no one confirmed that in any way. We just followed signs and the flow of traffic through Heathrow and somehow... Skipped immigration? None of us have any idea of how we managed to do it, and there were absolutely no consequences, and again, we all three of us are British citizens, but like... We sort of maybe illegally entered our own country somehow?

Lirael_Gold Mar 30, 2026 +6

Tbf, it's Heathrow, "sorry I got lost and ended up in the wrong terminal after taking a 20 minute hike through an empty tunnel that turned out to be an unlocked maintenance hallway" is a legitimate excuse if you're accused of evading immigration checks. (definitely didn't happen to me, and luckily nobody made a news article about it, but it's surprisingly common) >! I just had a backpack and was following 2 guys, it was only when they started turning off into what was obviously an engineering space/machine shop looking room that one of them looked back at me and was like "so, uh, who are you?"

You'd think that but then when you actually look into a lot of famous heists, like say some of the Pink Panther thefts, you find out that it's the most ooga booga caveman brain operation ever. I don't know if there's ever been a heist where the thieves acquired the blueprints to the building, climbed through ventilation ducts, repelled down from the ceiling, contorted themselves through invisible lazers, planned for a blind spot in the camera while the guards change shifts, etc... Step 1: have guy walk in wearing a funny wig in the middle of the day. Step 2: while everyone is distracted looking at the guy wearing a funny wig, run in behind with a hammer and smash the displays open and nab everything Step 3: run Alternatively just ram a car through the wall.

11

Th1rte3n1334 Mar 30, 2026 +2

Well, I don’t expect it to be like in the movies tbh. I just imagine some planning like how they were going to evade law enforcement and what not. I guess smash and grab works especially at night, but you’d think there would still be a decent response from the police.

Security of art in museums has always been more of public trust than real high end security, yes there are exceptions for pieces like the Mons Liss.

This museum is basically a really nice villa on beautiful grounds, in the middle of nowhere. Parma is a pretty small town (but really beautiful), and this is far off the A1 expressway. There's really nothing around. It's not crazy for a crew to drive up, snatch a couple of paintings, and bug out within a couple of minutes, on top of no real security - maybe a ticket lady and one monitor for the rooms. It's likely that this was a specific target, as there's no way to sell these. Whoever paid for this has good taste, and I really hope they get caught. These are really cool pieces that should be seen by the public, and as interesting as art capers are, this is pretty fucked up to take this away from the community.

One of the Bond movie Quantum of Solace is about a water privatization scheme. In the movie, the villains want to get a monopoly on Bolivian water, and jack up the prices. In the real world, someone actually tried to do this, but the real world villains wanted to jack the prices even higher than the Bond villains did. Google "Bolivian Water war" for a quick history lesson. Real world villains are comically more evil than comic book villains.

The truth is we are at a place and time where those who have money can get whatever they want and there are no consequences. This was clearly a collector-commissioned theft with very specific pieces in mind. Because they will never hit the public sales market. It means they’re going to somebody’s house.

Well, they can’t sell it to other markets, and people owning them would be considered criminals for holding them

I always wonder ... Who are you going to sell this to? You must find someone rich enough to buy these, and this person can never show them to anybody.

Well, very wealthy people have a LOT of properties usually. You can definitely display it in a private place
