THERE IS ONE OTHER DUPLICATION, BUT THAT IS HIS AH . . . TRADEMARK, HIS CALLING CARD, SO TO SPEAK. HE ALWAYS LEAVES A WHITE MONOGRAMMED GLOVE.: I know theft is bad and all, but whenever there's a big ticket art heist, I cannot help but cheer the thieves on, just a bit. Of course, it's hard to fence $163M in art, but -- by God! -- the audacity of it. In five minutes, they've got Cezanne's ``The Boy in the Red Vest,'' Monet's ``Poppies Near Vetheuil,'' Degas's ``Count Lepic and his Daughters'' and Van Gogh's ``Blossoming Chestnut Branches.''*

Which leads me to ask our dear readership: when you take on a life of crime, what fine art are you going to lift?


* I think I only recognized the Degas; I know nothing about this stuff.
