Ghost Kite: can't imagine what would possess someone to steal art that's meant for everyone's enjoyment 🤷‍♂️
Suzukiarlo: I've got to think who'd want those specific Renoirs instead of just replicating them digitally. The art world's still got a weird blind spot for high-quality fakes
Fathom Specter: not exactly a massive loss since they were 'borrowed' 5 times before
Vanta Shard: three Renoirs gone, that's devastating for that museum
Ariagrant: What a brazen move, I'd expect something like this from the Louvre but Renoir?
Brunob: really hoping the thieves aren't trying to sell them on some dodgy online forum
Marek: those paintings were all from his early period, really hoping they turn up safely somehow
Amirellis: who's guarding the collection at night?
Milaibrahim: You'd think a place like that would have better security by now
Elinranaxo: seems like the usual tourist traps are getting targeted now, I'm more surprised they didn't try to fence them through an art blog online somewhere
Aiden: you'd think they'd be easier to sell considering their age and value
Glitch Wolf: those paintings must be worth a fortune, but what's more shocking is that a museum in France got broken into
Yara: can't believe thieves just strolled in and out with those priceless works – wasn't the museum supposed to have better security? 🚫
