Frank Frazetta attempts to steal paintings by Frank Frazetta

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

It’s not every day you read about an attempted $20 million art heist, much less from the museum dedicated to the works of famous fantasy artist Frank Frazetta. However, the real kicker is that the perp (or, technically speaking, “alleged” perp) is Frank Frazetta’s own son.

The main tool of theft seems to be a backhoe rather than a broadsword.

It didn’t take Sherlock Holmes to crack this case…
