Armed Thieves Stage Daylight Heist of Magritte's 'Olympia'

It’s been a little while since our last museum heist story, but one just happened late yesterday and it’s a doozy. The Guardian reports that two men, armed with pistols, staged a daylight theft of Rene Magritte‘s “Olympia” from a private museum in Brussels. The painting, which is of Magritte’s wife, is estimated to be worth more than $4 million, which the thieves snatched after making threats to museum officials and visitors, forcing them to kneel and keep their heads down as they made their getaway.
