How hard is it to steal a work of art?

In this fascinating episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck dive into the surprisingly easy world of art theft, exploring how criminals have pulled off some of history's most audacious museum heists. They discuss famous cases like the unsolved 1990 Boston museum robbery worth $250 million, the theft of the Mona Lisa in 1911, and multiple thefts of "The Scream," revealing that stealing priceless artwork often requires nothing more than a gun, some fake police uniforms, or simply walking out with a painting under your shirt. The hosts also examine the shadowy black market where stolen art gets sold, the legal loopholes that sometimes legitimize theft, and why art theft ranks as the world's third-largest illegal trade behind drugs and arms.
