Many stolen paintings have a strange history. But one of the strangest was that of a painting by the famous sixteenth-century painter Bruegel, stolen from an art gailery in London in the eighties.
The four thieves who had stolen the painting, didn't know how much it cost. The first art expert who came to see the painting said it was priceless. Another art expert said it was worth £2-3 million. Then the thieves tried to sell the painting back to the art gallery from which it had been stolen.
The gallery contacted the police and a meeting was arranged. However, the meeting didn't take place. A short time later the thieves were arrested. When ihey were told that they were arrested in connection with a Bruegei painting one of them said: "What's a Bruegel? thought it was rubbish".
