The Toledo Blade has a slightly more detailed story about the stolen Goya. Most provocative:
Nearly one year ago, on Nov. 18, 2005, paintings by Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock were stolen in a sophisticated heist from the Everhart Museum in Scranton.
"At this point there's no reason to believe it's anything more than a coincidence," said FBI agent Williams...
Very interesting, no? Though the two thefts sound completely different. The Pollock and Warhol, according to this article, were stolen right out of the museum in four minutes flat. The way the Goya theft is being described, it practically sounds like the truck driver left the door open while he dined at a Waffle House. But I do like the idea of a Scranton-based ring of art thieves.
