Excerpt:
Two golden cufflinks – containing thumbnails of a famous self-portrait – had a secret. The small town of Znojelmo in the Czech Republic was the place of interest. The mystery had everyone guessing.
Where could the 7 famous paintings be?
Forensic scientists and Police investigators were called in when seven famous paintings were stolen from the De KunstenHuis Museum in Amsterdam. On December 6, 2012, seven multi-million pound paintings were taken off the wall, shoved into a large cotton bag, and was gone in 120 seconds. The inspector from the Netherlands – the chief of police – said that the alarms went off at 3:15 am in the early hours of the morning. The burglars worked lightning-fast. It took the thieves only 2 minutes to remove the paintings from the walls. After stuffing the paintings in a large fabric bag, they head out through the back window. Nobody reported seeing a thing. Even the surveillance cameras were baffled. The camera footage showed them disguised with wigs and face masks. Hoodies covered their heads. Even their hands were covered.
