This Is Your Monet
This is your Monet on drunks...
Museum intruders damage Monet painting
Drunken vandals punch hole in ‘Le Pont d’Argenteuil’Intruders, apparently drunk, broke into the Orsay Museum, getting in by a back door, and punched a hole in a renowned work by Impressionist painter Claude Monet, "Le Pont d'Argenteuil."
If I'm underwriting the insurance policies for the Orsay's priceless masterpieces, I think I'm now kinda curious exactly what their 'security' safeguards are. Especially as it seems any drunk staggering along from a street fair can wander in if they luck into the right door.
...The intruders tried to force open other doors before succeeding at a back door, "even though it had big bolts," she said. The painting hung on the ground floor with other Impressionist masterpieces.
Ooooo! BIG bolts.

Well, someone was punch drunk. Too bad they couldn't take it out on some "youths".
