Picasso painting stolen in Brazil

[Anna]

Thieves in Brazil have stolen two paintings said to be worth $100m (£50m) in a dawn raid on Latin America's most renowned museum. Pablo Picasso's Portrait of Suzanne Bloch, and The Coffee Worker by Brazil's Candido Portinari, were taken from the Museum of Art of Sao Paulo.
The theft lasted about three minutes and was caught on security cameras.
A statement from museum officials said the institution had not suffered such a robbery in its 60-year history.

I hope that there is more to the story than that they broke in through the door with a jack. It doesn't tell about the professionality of the thieves as the news article says. Rather, it tells of the lack of security of the museum.
