The greatest in the history of Art; Picasso, Matisse. Amedeo Modigliani, and Fernand Leger. Can you find any common fact between them? You might say "Fauvism ", "Symbolism' and "cubism".However the answer is that some of their paintings were stolen in "the Paris Museum of Modern Art on Thursday." Your instinction will ask how much does the painting worth? The price of painting "possibly worth hundreds of millions of dollars." The second question
will probably asking about security system at that day. Sadly, "some of the surveillance cameras,had been broken for the past few days." Therefore, It was the most proper time for "a single masked intruder" to steal the paintings.It is obvious that Police have to find thief who stole "Pari's universal cultural heritage." Even though authorized people are stating that thief cannot do anything with this painting because no collector will buy the stolen painting. It seems quite funny to talk about the real price of this painting, but there's controversy over
the real price. "Deputy culture secretary at Paris City Hall" affairms that price will "under 100 million euros." Now, general public cannot able to see those paintins anymore. By showing the masterpiece, art museum wants general public to be familiar with art. Thief should know that.
