Museums are a prison for art. When a masterpiece is right in front of you, at the sight of which it takes your breath away, and tears come to your eyes, what can be more natural than the desire to admire it indefinitely, to trace with your fingers the exact movements of the incisor or hand? All this, of course, is more convenient to do in silence and solitude, sitting in your favorite chair. As a boy, Stefan Breitwiser often visited museums, where he wandered alone all day - it is difficult to imagine a more cute hobby for a teenager. By the early 2000s, Stephane Breitwiser was perfectly happy: he had found vocation, love and fondly recalled the day when Anna-Katrina agreed to his indecisive question. "Let's get it," she simply said, and Breitwiser made his first museum theft, pulling an exhibit from a showcase he fervently desired.
By 2002, Stephane Breitwiser had found something he had never wanted: high-profile European fame. The press vyingly counted the fabulous damage that the daring kidnapper caused to museums. The amazing method of theft, the huge list of stolen masterpieces, the heartbreaking denouement and the ensuing global revision of the requirements of museum security clearly testified: the name of Stefan Breitwiser – a serial thief who has never used violence or sold a single stolen thing – is now destined to top any ratings of the most high-profile crimes in the field of art.
