Apparently, Picasso didn't like any of his relatives enough to give them the works, so I don't believe this guy stole them.
I'm REALLY angry that they have been confiscated.
I hate to say it...but lots of relatives of famous people live off that. It's always seemed creepy to me. I know there are plenty of family businesses where the kids work for the parents then take over—that, I think, is fine. The ones that get me are the kids of politicians (think Megan McCaine, that dope) or entertainers (think that strange looking daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.
I've read about Picasso and the electrician's story sounds pretty realistic. Picasso really didn't care for his relatives much...I think he realized what leeches they were and looks like, still are.
