Thieves Can Be Imbeciles in Canada, TooPosted by April in theft , kijiji , jean-paul riopelle , imbeciles , craigslist , blog roll , art |
Not content to let lax Parisian security and poor planning take centre stage, Canadian thieves have decided to show off just how stupid they can be. A number of stolen lithographs by Jean-Paul Riopelle turned up on Kijiji. In case you are one of our international readers, allow me to explain: Kijiji is a free classified website like Craigslist. Only instead of used couches, one night stands, and free useless items no one in his/her right mind would want to take home, one can apparently also pick up pieces of Canadian history.
Were they trying to get caught? It's stolen art, dudes. Someone's going to figure it out.
