Art theft

Recently a guy in Paris nearly got away with stealing several paintings from the Louver. However, after planning the crime, getting in and out past security, he was captured only 2 blocks away when his Econoline ran out of gas. When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied: (brace yourself)

"I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh."
