So, many of us, especially those of the male persuasion, tend to have a certain fondness of movies involving heists. It has even been a subject of comedians, such as Dane Cook, and something about the thrill of it just makes guys think "yeah, that'd be cool".
Well, for those of you who have a tendency to avoid (intentionally or otherwise) reading world news, let me give you a brief story of one Stian Skjold, the alleged mastermind of one of the worlds most daring acts of thievery.
According to prosecution, Stian (that's a cool name for real) was the mastermind and coordinator of a daylight robbery that managed to successfully steal two of the worlds most famous paintings by forcing themselves into a museum and holding all the employees at ay with a revolver or two.
These paintings, painted by Edvard Munch include "The Scream" and "Madonna".
Now, most of those involved have been arrested and tried, however Stian, the alleged mastermind, was acquitted. Interesting.
Anyways, I wanted to make sure that this story was told. It is very interesting, and you can find plenty about it online.
