Jeszcze dzis rano pisali, ze skradziony Monet wart jest 1 mln dolarow,
teraz - 7 mln dolcow! Sky's the limit? Detale ponizej:
WARSAW, Sept 20 (AFP) - A seven-million-dollar Claude Monet
painting, "The Beach at Pourville," nabbed this week from a Polish
National Museum in western Poznan, was uninsured, officials said
Wednesday.
"The picture was guarded by our regular security personnel and
by safety systems," Andrzej Wozinski, the interim head of the
museum, was quoted as saying by the Polish news agency PAP.
"However, the National Museum in Poznan does not insure its
exhibits - neither probably does any other museum in Poland. We
simply can't afford to," he said.
The painting, valued by experts at seven million dollars (8.2
million euros) according to PAP, was discovered stolen by guards on
Tuesday afternoon.
"Thieves cut the painting out of the frame and replaced it by a
badly painted copy on cardboard," a spokesman for the Poznan
municipal police, Jaroslaw Szemerluk, told AFP. "We still haven't
determined exactly when it happened."
The oil, measuring 60 x 73 centimeters (24 by 29 inches), was
painted in 1882 and had been bought in 1906 by the Poznan museum,
while the city was part of Germany.

Jesli juz Pan spamujesz s.c.p. tymi depeszami,
po angielsku, czyniac tym samym z s.c.p. s.c.j.-epe,
- a w Panskim przypadku - sa to przewaznie
depesze w zdecydowanej wiekszosci po angielsku
dziwnym zbiegiem okolicznosci stawiajace Polske
w zlym swietle - to przynajmniej dopisuj Pan
komentarze w tym samym jezyku, co depesza,
bo nawet dwie spacje nie pomoga... (zeby bylo
z sensem)...
