Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly eight years\u2014in museums and cathedrals all over Europe\u2014Breitwieser, along with his girlfriend Anne-Cathrine who worked as his lookout, stole more than three hundred objects, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most thieves, Breitwieser never stole for money. Instead, he displayed all his treasures in a pair of secret rooms where he could admire them to his heart\u2019s content. Possessed of a remarkable athleticism and an innate ability to circumvent practically any security system, Breitwieser managed to pull off a breathtaking number of audacious thefts. Yet these strange talents bred a growing disregard for risk and an addict\u2019s need to score, leading Breitwieser to ignore his girlfriend\u2019s pleas to stop\u2014until one final act of hubris brought everything crashing down.<\/p>\n<p>What has happened? Who will be punished? Breitweiser? Anne-Cathrine? Read just till the end of chapter 35 (&#8220;The gash on his hand requires stiches and their relaionship finally dies, and he&#8217;s left with a permanent scar.&#8221;). Together we will comment and sort out different possible outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>This is the true story of the world&#8217;s most prolific art thief, who accumulated a collection worth almost \u00a3 1 billion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you wish to participate, please let us know per email.
