Something is rotten in the State of France.
Only a day after five paintings were stolen from a Paris art museum, five pictures including a Picasso were stolen from the home of an art collector in Marseille. The owner was also “beaten up” according to an account in “Another art heist in France,” as seen on www.cbc.ca.
The article also notes that thieves made off with 30 paintings from a villa in Marseille last January.
