So, the story goes: There was a thief in Paris, who attempted to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, and with some luck, he managed to get past security, steal the paintings and make a getaway in his van.
Nonetheless, he was captured only two blocks away, when the vehicle ran out of gas.
Happy to have the paintings back unharmed, the authorities nonetheless wanted to know how someone could mastermind such a crime, and still make such an obvious error.

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