You reported it I would hope? Art theft is a crime against humanity, not to mention the artist. Sort of like saying, “I know this serial killer in LA, he showed me and some other guys his severed head collection, it was wild.” Ymmv

One extinguished multiple human lives and kept trophies. The other spilled paint on paper with some style. They are not the same.

I won't say I'm not conflicted about it. I will say this: it is being well-preserved, which it absolutely was not at its previous location.

“Hey this guy stole a painting.” knocks on door “did you steal a painting?” “No” “can we come in?” “No”

That’s how this would go. How do you expect it would go?

  • Your contention is that police informants don’t exist or that they have zero impact?

    • My contention is that someone 'dobbing' on someone else holds zero weight. Also, we just went from ' a friend' to 'a police informant' quite quickly.
