Dutch art heist museum says security system in order

ROTTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS, Oct 24: The Dutch art gallery at the center of an audacious heist last week said that the electronic locks on its doors were disarmed before thieves made off with paintings by Picasso, Monet and others worth tens of millions of dollars. The seven stolen works – which also include a Gauguin, a Lucian Freud and a Meyer de Haan – were on loan from a private collection for a special exhibition at Rotterdam’s Kunsthal of impressionism, expressionism, and other modern art movements.
