Thieves Like Us: The Greatest Art Heist of the 21st Century

Some people are born for a certain vocation. Mozart, for music.
Shakespeare, for drama. Steven Hawking, for physics, and...let's
say...Machine Gun Kelly? for rap music. Vjeran Tomic was born for
the steal—as comfortable scaling the side of a tightly-guarded
museum as a leopard is, stalking through the jungle. He says he’s
in it for the love of art—a modern-day Robin Hood. But we seem to
remember something about Robin Hood giving the money
away…hmm.
