“The Sao Paulo Museum of Art, which opened in 1947, is considered Latin America’s top museum for western modern and contemporary art. Yet on Dec. 20, a gang of thieves, using only a car jack and a crowbar, broke into the building and stole the two paintings, reportedly worth more than $50 million US in total. The building has no alarm and was relying on unarmed guards who patrol inside 24 hours a day.”
