Yep - it’s gone! You can read about it here: [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5787000/](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5787000/)

So if any of your friends have it (stole it/downloaded it/etc.), you should notify the police immediately 😛
The painting “Madonna” was also stolen, but it’s not nearly as cool as the above painting!
Cheers!
Kirupa :cop:

Interesting story. Why would they do that to such classic art?
I hope it isn’t harmed.

> The two or three thieves, wearing black masks, threatened an employee of the Munch Museum with a handgun before grabbing the paintings
what ever happened to the robbing of a museum at night, using glasscutters to cut the glass in the cieling and dangling from the roof with cable wires while avoiding the infrared laser beams?!
Somehow I’ve always pictured the robbing of a priceless piece of art that way … or maybe I’ve just been watching too many movies

Yea, but I think that was only for stealing diamonds. Or the Mona Lisa.

Sad sad ☹
The worst part it, it could take a long time to track down if they sell it.
Hope it gets found though!

Eventually someone will probably boast about having it.

that’s crazy. I don’t know why these people steal this stuff. They always get caught and they could never sell it.
Ah well… either way, what nelson… err… Fester said 😉

they will probably just demand a ransom and not get it. Like the idots that stole this painting before. Funny thing is the museum had those things “ghetto rigged” to the wall. With just wire and and a small nail. So anyone could have yanked them off. Seems like they would have secured them more tightly to the wall. Imagine if they ran in with their guns and masks and could not get them off the wall…they would have been like “OOPS, sorry folks, nevermind us we are just going to turn around and run out now…sorry for the scare…carry on”. Now that would have been comedy.
