The Thief in Paris

Recently, a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the Louvre.

However, after planning the crime, breaking in, evading security, getting out and escaping with the goods, he was captured only two blocks away when his econoline van ran out of gas.

When asked how he could have overlooked such an obvious error, he replied, "I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh."
