Do you think that if you stole for example The Scream or The Mona Lisa and then tried to sell it,you would get

Question

away with it??

These are the most famous pieces of art in the world.therefore if they were stolen,every police force in the world pretty much would be on high alert to retrieve them.

With snitches,moles and undercover agents operating in various gangs and organized crime then the chances of the robbers getting away with selling them are not very high.

What do you think?

This isnt an idea ive got its just something we were talking about in work to pass the time.

Answer 1

If it was resold through a black market transaction, then it might work. Lex Luther could have pulled it off.

Answer 2

You sorta of missed the point. Famous paintings should never be fenced. The thefts can be put into three groups. Most of the time the theft is commissioned (paid for)by an individual who wants to "collect" it. The second group attempts to auction it off to pre-identified collectors. Organized Terrorist and activist belong to this group. The last group are the armatures. Those are the guys who make a foolish attempt to sell it on eBay. History has shown that if you have a plan, and a buyer you could walk away with any painting.

Answer 3

People who steal such items do so at the direction of a collector who is willing to spend a gazillion dollars just to have it in their private collection. The items are not put on display in your local library. It's just some whacko with lots of money who's willing to pay just to own it and go down in his secure vault and look at it every once in a while.
