The glass doors of a five-story art gallery in Midtown Manhattan were smashed, and a $100,000 lithograph by Marc Chagall was plucked from inside the dealership and walked down the block, according to a recent report from NBC New York.

Seems a strange choice for a theft. I don’t know much about art, but I would assume it was the most convenient piece, because it doesn’t look like much to me.
It’s possible that it was also a commissioned theft, but weird that someone would want it that badly they’d pay to have it stolen.
Yeah. I can’t quite figure this one out. Unless the thieves are connected somehow I don’t know how they’re going to move this thing. What are they going to do? Go to the Waldorf, walk up to random yuppies, and ask, “my man yous interested in procuring some fancy ass art?”
