  It was deliberate. He advertised hair loss knowing people would be pulling the hair out when they heard the mother destroying them!

  The fact that he stole the art because he just really liked it makes me unexplainably happy 😂

  The irony of it all. He stole this art out of appreciation, and he&apos;s the reason countless irreplaceable pieces were destroyed forever.

  This man is the most non evil criminal that I have ever seen. It’s surprising that he just kept the artwork around the house as a token of his love for art. I respect that.

  I am actually feeling a physical sick reaction to the mothers burning of such art. It’s happened long ago many times when rulers during the medieval period and earlier would in war destroy entire libraries and any museum just to erase history of the invaded lands. And so much, if not all, were single prints without any other copies and all lost to fires. An enormous amount of history gone up in smoke.

  He had the same insatiable desire for art I used to have for lemon twist donuts in high school. How I loved the taste of thee!!

  The ironic part is if the mother had just hid the artwork in some way instead of trying to destroy and dispose of it the way she had, it could of possibly gone WAY different for him.

  The lack of security generally required for millions of people to be able to see works of art and not have anything stolen is proof that most of us humans are to be trusted. &nbsp;It just takes that one person who can cause more harm than millions of others and we all are punished with the expenses of security, locking things up and taking away the warmth of a community.
