Several experts believe the thieves had a specific buyer in mind.Photos taken by guests have enabled hotel management to narrow down the timing of the theft to a 12-day period between Christmas Day and Jan. 6.“Holidays like Christmas and New Year’s are very high risk for art crime and art theft because people are preoccupied with other things.”
Oddly, the timing of its discovery last week is almost 50 years after the largest art heist in Canadian history was pulled off in Montreal.On Sept. 4, 1972, a man scaled a tree near the Museum of Fine Arts in the middle of the night. He lowered a ladder from the roof to two others, who made their way to a skylight that was under repair.
Canada does not keep specific statistics on art theft, instead lumping it in with all other manner of property theft.
