Guard Implicates Himself In Dali Theft

A guard at New York’s Riker’s Island jail has implicated himself in the theft of a Salvador Dali sketch from the facility. “The officer told authorities Saturday’s theft was concocted as a get-rich-quick scheme, with participants hoping to cash in on the sketch by selling it on the black market for $500,000. But the painting was discovered missing far sooner than they hoped because the officers opted to keep it in its frame and put a replica sketched by one of the guards back with another frame.”
