Picasso Sketch Stolen from San Francisco Gallery

Thomas Crown has nothing on this guy – dude just takes what he likes off a gallery wall and catches a cab.

San Francisco police are on the lookout for a man who stole a Pablo Picasso sketch by simply walking up to the picture, taking it, and fleeing in a taxi cab. The sketch, reportedly worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, is from 1965, the twilight of the Spanish artist's career, and is titled “Tete de femme.” The Weinstein Gallery, which boasts a collection of works by other 20th-century Spanish painters, described the suspect as white, around 30 years old, and wearing sunglasses and loafers. If we had known it was that easy to steal a near-priceless work of art, let's just say the walls here at The Mark would be adorned with a lot more than a Montreal Canadiens flag and a whiteboard.
