Masterpiece Destroyed?
Bird is horrified to learn that the Edvard Munch masterpieces 'The Scream' and 'Madonna' have been incinerated, according to the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet, citing criminal sources and a top secret police report. The paper claimed Thursday that the paintings were destroyed in order to get rid of damning evidence as the police investigation closes in on the culprits behind the robbery. The Scream kicked off last summer's World Art Tour here at the RBR so it holds a special place for all the employees.Three people are in custody in connection with the Munch robbery, but none of them are linked to crime via technical evidence, and the pair that carried out the heist are considered to be at large.
Dagbladet cited both criminal and police sources in their reportage, and said that police expect new arrests in the case shortly.
Bird is naturally appalled at the thought of this.
