No wonder that man in Munch’s The Scream is screaming. He keeps getting stolen. The famous painting went    1   in 1994 and again ten years later, both times from museums in Norway.    2  , security was extremely poor. Officials thought the painting was so famous that it wouldn’t be stolen. Wrong.
The world of art theft is not, as one might think, populated with intelligent persons who have a fine appreciation of art. Art thieves are thugs(流氓), according to a new book by Charley Hill. Hill was an undercover policeman    3   job was to track down stolen paintings. He says that the people who steal    4   were usually stealing wheels from cars a few years earlier. He describes priceless Vermeers being stuffed    5       the back of cars, Gainsboroughs being passed around by drug dealers with dirty hands and a nasty end to one of Henry Moore’s huge sculptures. The bronze, King and Queen, a    6   by Moore, was too heavy for the thieves to move, so they took out a chainsaw and cut off the heads, thinking those might be worth something.
The artworks usually turn up, sometimes many years    7  , though the police don’t always catch the thief. Even rarer is when a gentleman thief—one who steals art for personal pleasure only—is caught. In 2009, a waiter, Stephane from Switzerland, 32,    8        (find) guilty of stealing 69 artworks from museums since 1998. He told the court he did    9   for the love of art. His haul (赃物) was   10  over $1 billion—not bad for a waiter.
