They were throwing one folio after another, but then the library was suffering so many changes that no one paid actual attention to it.

And then it came up in Dorotheum auction when they didn't actually put them to auction, they just fawned.

the library because they found the stamps and told them like guys listen I think you're missing those lovely folios in your library and then they were they were like oh my god yeah we're missing them so that is and that is also a few cases that I came across in my life and They were quite interesting.

Also, I think I've heard about one case that quite a few years ago, I think during the Russian seasons, I think in Christus, One man came in and just lifted a small Fabergé figurines during the preview.

I don't know how he managed to do that because Christie's do have quite a bit of... employees and people who are being there to guard the space during every preview but he did but he was caught I think very fast because they have a lot of cameras in Christus and I think within like days he was caught and the artwork was returned so that case also have happened I think something have happened also in Dorotheum actually that I mentioned and again the thief was caught quite quickly quite swiftly as auction houses do have a lot of cameras everywhere and most of the employees are quite like you know they're precious about their art their positions and not saying that museum employees are not Mentioning the Dorotheum, I think it has also happened, the heist happened in Dorotheum, but everything was restored quite fast.

And I think there was also a heist in one of the French auction houses, but again, it related to diamonds and to precious stones, as they do attract more people than paintings.
