In his book The Art Thief Michael Finkel tells the true story of Stéphane Breitwieser, the most prolific art thief of all time.  He pulled off more than 200 heists, often in crowded museums in broad daylight. His girlfriend served as his accomplice, and his collection grew to an estimated two billion dollars But he never sold a piece, displaying his stolen art in the attic bedroom in his mother’s house. Then everything came to a shocking end. It’s an extraordinary story
