Criminals. Politicians. Seems to be a lot of people taking advantage of the various COVID-19 shutdowns.

Shoddy security- forced glass doors open. Wow. Why didn’t they lock up the painting. Have steel doors across the glass door.

"I am shocked and absolutely livid that this has happened,"

There's already a meme out there for that.

The painting sure doesn't look like Spring. Winter more like, so no wonder it had to Gogh.

Basically, all's right with the universe.

It’s pretty dark but no doubt worth a bundle - I’ve always liked the one he painted of his bedroom.

A couple of years ago the local hospitals had a poster featuring a Van Gogh self-portrait wearing a face mask with the words “Cover Your Cough”. But it only really works if you pronounce his name the way the English do.

Stupid thieves. What will they do with the painting?

Sell it? Which person with the money will buy it knowing that it’s a stolen valuable piece of art?

Perhaps they/the museum should look a bit closer...

If you look through it, you can see a spaceship.
