Where the heck are those paintings??????????

I'm looking forward to Ulrich Boser's appearance at the store this Wednesday, the 25th, at 7pm.  I love books about art, and art theft is always fascinating.  It seems strange that galleries have millions of dollars worth of paintings on display, but generally poor security systems and underpaid and under trained gaurds. 

Twenty years later, there is still no solid lead on where the paintings are.  Although Boser has made some headway in determining who might have committed the crime, those people certainly no longer have the paintings. 

So somewhere out there is a Vermeer, a Manet, two Rembrandts, and several other paintings worth an estimated 600 million dollars.  The largest unsolved art crime of all time.
