Up here round my way there was the worcetser art museum heist the 3 goons got away with a Rembrandt and some other faoumous shit. This was the first art heist using a gun. They shot the guard in the leg. Its 1971 and these guys didn't no who to sell the arts to. They got caught in acouple weeks there's a good long article Boston.com. I see 1 of the guys around. Guess the big mob guys had no use for stolen art the fbi wants back asap. They.found some in a pig farm down Rhode island. Its a good story.
I always wondered about that myself. If they steal super expensive stuff like art or very expensive jewels, how do they sell them? Things that most people use and can afford, electronics, car parts, average jewelry, clothes, that is easy to sell. But if they steal some world famous painting, you can't just stand on a street corner saying, "Hey buddy, want to buy a Rembrandt".
