As I finished watching Buzzfeed Unsolved on Youtube regarding the Gardner Museum heist, I'm completely baffled by the whole scenario. I can't even fathom the thought that after hours of hard work and promoting and carefully framing a work of art to have it cut from its frame because someone wanted it so bad!
