In the movies, aren't art thieves so classy that they won't even hang
out with riff-raff like jewel thieves?

Truckload of Missing Art Found in Trailer Park
By ALAN FEUER
A multimillion-dollar art heist that began two weeks ago when a
truckload of paintings, sculpture and antique furniture vanished on the
road from southern Florida to New York ended Wednesday night in an
unlikely place: a 30-year-old trailer park in Gainesville.
It was there, at the Arredondo Farms, that a task force of the
Gainesville Police Department and the Alachua County sheriff's office
arrested the driver of the truck, Patrick J. McIntosh, after they had
surrounded a trailer belonging to what one official called "his baby's
momma's sister." Mr. McIntosh surrendered without incident, the
authorities said, and the art was found some three miles away, still in
the truck untouched.
"The guy gave up," said Sgt. Keith Faulk, who works for the sheriff's
office. "He was a big ol' boy, too ? 6-8, 280. I think he might have
thought about slipping out. Then again we had the residence surrounded."

Jeeze louise, I moved away from Gainesville, FL 20 years ago and these
chowderheads are just one of many reasons why :P

Yeah, but these were all black velvet Elvis paintings and big-eyed
Keane kids.
'Pernel Dove, who lives next door to Mr. McIntosh's relatives, said she
had no idea that anything was amiss until she saw a pack of television
reporters toting cameras, standing outside an adjoining trailer. She is
a psychic - licensed by the state of Florida, she said - who
conducts clairvoyant sessions over the phone.
"I didn't have an inclination it was coming," she said today. "What
kind of psychic am I, right?"'

I know, I know... I try hard to honor copyright and just
quote "fair use" fragments, but in this case I was
sorely tempted to post the whole piece. It's priceless.
