Canvas Cashed Out
BBC reports that a canvas covered in 100,000 notes of 1000 kroner (about $16,300 USD) was stolen from an Oslo Art Gallery.
Each banknote was individually glued to the 6′5″ x 13′ canvas frame.
The thieves cut these individually off the canvas leaving only the frame behind.
While on one hand I am not sure whether to classify this as an art theft or not, it strikes me quite humorous when I read the statements next to the empty canvas frame (screencap below from the BBC article)
