*Now* what are you going to do with them?
So there was an art heist in Zurich over the weekend. It made me wonder exactly how the thieves plan to sell said art since they (the art) are going to be known hot property that one can't exactly waltz into Sotheby's and put up for auction. At first I thought that perhaps the thieves already had (clearly evil) buyers lined up, but the article indicates that it appears the thieves took the first four paintings they came across (which would imply more of a hap-hazard approach to this whole thing). All this got me thinking though - how cool would it be to work on a team that recovers stolen art?

Being clever thieves, they might have realized the simplicity of stealing the first four paintings most easily acquired, and lined up their prospective buyers with this in mind.
You're not the only one who think the art thieves might be a little, um, stupid.
