Where'd Van Gogh Go??

This saturday a $56 million painting by Van Gogh was stolen from the Mahmoud Kalil Museum in Cairo.  Earlier that week the local paper had reported that the museum's security systems were down.  What makes this heist even more astounding is the fact that the painting, Poppy Flowers, is that the painting was stolen in broad day light!  Read the full story here.
