When I read things like this I feel deep revulsion and disgust. What kind of criminal idiot would destroy thousands of years of European culture just because she was angry that her son was caught.

Has anyone found any pictures of the destroyed artwork?

French police are investigating the destruction of more than 60 paintings by major artists worth more than $2.5 billion.

The artists are worth that much?

What I can't understand is how this one guy managed to swipe over 170 works of art from as many museums before getting caught.

His mother's actions make more sense if we view them as trying to destroy the evidence.

No. I don't know which paintings were destroyed. But, real ART is irreplacable. It saddens me.

I always thought that genetics were very important. But considering we have a brilliant but misguided son and an idiot mother, I may have to reevaluate.
