For you funnybone: A French cat burglar drove to the Louvre and pulled off
what appeared to be the perfect theft, but stopped only a few blocks away.
He didn't have the Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh. (Ron McIntosh,

In light of the recent Globe & Mail articles (30 Jan,1998) on artists/dealer
relations, VAAA reminds artists and dealers that for all consignments there
should be a written agreement so that both parties know what to expect. The
agreement is a contract and each party has rights and responsibilities. For
further information contact the Economic Crime Section of the Edmonton
Police Service 421-3400.
