Exactly, I always wondered who would buy stolen art when they can’t display
it! By the way u didn’t answer the question in the title, u should’ve told
who buys it and what they do with it. I think they ask for ransom…

There wouldn’t be so much drug, gun, and art crime if America had a
government of the working class who looked after people well enough so they
wouldn’t need to steal.

How powerful is Art
April 13, 2015 @ 8:35 am
Stealing art is an amazing art itself.

Because rich people are willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money to hang
a painting made by someone with a famous name on their wall. If people were
only willing to pay $5 for these paintings, the paintings would be worth $5
and no one would put that much effort into stealing $5

Rockstar should take notes here and pull out some art heists in their next
update…
