Yahoo News - Version of Munch's 'The Scream' Stolen from Museum
OSLO (Reuters) - Armed robbers stole masterpieces by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch from a museum in Oslo on Sunday and national radio said a version of "The Scream" was part of the haul.

Norwegian national radio NRK said the paintings stolen from the Munch Museum included a version of the famous portrait of modern angst, and a version of another key work, "Madonna."

In this day and age of high tech theft, there is something very...quaint...about stealing paintings.
