Thats what CNN said last night. Stupid CNN!:dunno: The masters of mis-information.:nut:

The paper quoted that the paintings were worth around 90 million. Nonetheless, it's going to be nearly IMPOSSIBLE to sell that stuff:

1) It's impossible to determine authenticity. I would never trust a thief on the black market, even if he swears up and down that they are real. Where is he going to have them authenticated ;)

2) Anyone who is into paintings know that these are stolen. What's the point of having them? You can't display them and you can't really appreciate them without fearing being spotted.

They will most likely hold it for ransom.. not like they can sell it or anything.

holy transporter styles, except in an audi a6. Nice getaway car. the paintings were probably stolen by an art collecter who now owns 2 Munch originals.
