 Re: art thief
It sucks it happened to CCM and Sean and all... But $8,000?  indeed.

 Re: art thief
On first read, I thought that this was some publicity stunt. I mean who steals a giant painting like that and doesn't have a get away plan. I mean the guy took it then is standing there on the street waiting for a taxi talking on his cell phone?? Hilarious.

 Re: art thief
ABCNews wrote: Leonard managed to detain the suspect until police arrived and arrested the alleged thief, Louis Lassalle, 49.
Police charged Driggs with grand larceny and possession of stolen property, while authorities are still hunting for other suspects involved in the heist as well as the two other stolen pieces of art; portraits of Nelson Mandela and Snoopzilla. They are valued at $8,000 each. Am I missing something or is this article poorly edited? Who is "Driggs"...?

 Re: art thief
"obviously the right man to me manning the gallery" article says he didn't notice they were gone for some time and 2 giant as fuck paintings are still missing so I question this. Also where the fuck were the patrons at? If I was at a gallery show and someone whom I did not recognize as staff was fucking with the art I would definitely be speaking up.

 Re: art thief
I would love to hear the details of how the actual robbery went down. they couldnt possibly have been stolen during the opening..?? CCM is soo small, theres really no being sneaky about that in there. Possibly three dudes grabbed and ran at the same time?

 Re: art thief
CCM is not as small as is it used to be. The store now includes Tara's old studio. It's actually quite long with a back section/room that is out of view if you are close to the main desk.
Really glad they got one back. Props to Sean for being so quick to act.

This article goes into a little more depth... http://newyork.cbslocal.com/tag/louis-lassalle/Makes a lot more sense that the paintings were stollen from the storage room.
