"I hope this isn't true. if it is, the thieves deserve life without parole. "
Never for art theft, come on now.
While a disgusting idea, and a big loss, the thiefs deserve to pay every cent back but not jail.

Isn't the Dagbladet a tabloid? I wouldn't put too much weight into this.

You can get jail (and should) for stealing anything worth over $2000 (grand larceny) in the US. How can you advocate no jail time for stealing and destroying an irreplaceble masterpiece worth millions?  |

Just to add to Jeff's comment, paying every cent back is pretty much beside the point for a work of art that cannot be replaced.
That painting would have brought at auction some tens of millions--and even then the painting would still exist. The replacement value is beyond calculation as it can't be replaced.

I don't have a problem with SOME time in jail, but NOT LIFE!

Make it 20 years with a huge bill when they get out, and thousands of hours of CS.

I say life without parole would be too lenient, if this story turns out to be true. But then, I'm more of a subcriber to the Code of Hammurabi than most people.
