Picking a nit here: this is the second time "The Scream" was stolen, but only sort of. A different version of it was stolen last time, from a different museum. According to the New York Times, the robbers were armed - and I for one would not expect anyone on my security staff to take a bullet for a painting. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/23/international/europe/23scream.html People keep saying the picture was only hanging on a wire, as though this was insufficient - does everybody but me bolt their paintings to the wall with security hangers? Really? We have some pictures with extra hardware but a lot of the bigger things are hanging on a nail on d-rings or wire. I'm curious about this as well. Jill R.
