The 25 Thefts of Christmas - 2019

As my Christmas gift to The South Pacific, I thought that I would fill its Erinor Museum of Fine Art with the artwork worthy of such an institution. So I planned and executed the The 25 Art Thefts of Christmas to fill the Museum with the finest and most expensive art work to be found in the world. I placed one piece in the Museum, per day, leading up to Christmas, to with:
