some guys stole the 'saliera' a very famous piece of art, worth something like ¤130 million.
big story, it was on the news for quite some time. then the officials fucked up buying it back, it must have been like in a movie, reports indicate.
and now this, they are trying it again. these are the methods of austrian police!! haha

na, sara stands for the saliera i think. it is a bottle for salt - a kinda special one, entirely made of gold. it has been stolen half a year ago and police try to establish contact with the thiefes through that page - thats official.
makes them look as amateurs though

I don't understand, what the fuck do you do with it once you stole it?
Try to sell it? If everyone knows it's stolen, who is going to buy for more than $100?
Can you ransom a painting?

since that site got commonly known the last few hours i think quite a lot of people called. i'm sure they are trying to trace you back but i highly doubt that anything happens. they'll have hundreds of calls

Cooking and feasting on the delectable dismembered body parts is what makes murder so rewarding.

¤130 million? It must be a joke. What other pieces of art is been sold for that kind of money?

I believe - and I'm not 100% sure - that the most expensive painting in the world is worth £800 million

Oh. Well I read about "The worlds most expensive" in Guinness couple of years ago, and it was far less then that. But the frices are rising I guess. Better invest in some art :)

My mistake, put the decimal in the wrong place :D
Most Expensive Painting Ever
1. Portrait of Dr. Gachet
Artist: Vincent Van Gogh Price tag: $82,500,000 Purchased: Christie's, New York (May 15th, 1990)
As you've probably gathered, old Vince was, like many great artists, just a tad loony. During one of his frequent stays in the nuthouse, he painted this touching picture of his doctor looking completely exhausted, presumably from chasing Vinnie around with a syringe.
Japanese businessman Ryoei Saito (who paid a mere $78.1 million for a Renoir two days later) claims the title for shelling out the most insane amount of money ever for a work of art. Mr. Saito himself could probably have benefited from some time under the care of the good Dr. Gachet. Right after purchasing this painting, he threatened to have it burned when he died, to prevent his heirs from having to pay a huge inheritance tax. He died six years later, and no one has seen Portrait of Dr. Gachet since.
So the question remains: did 80-plus million bucks worth of canvas and oil, slapped together by a lunatic, go up in smoke at the hands of another lunatic? Or was the painting simply sold to an "anonymous party?" We may never know.

I knew it was Van Gogh. There might be other pieces of art besides paintings that are more valuable, of course
