Causing A Distraction
The woman, who looked like she was in her 60s, starts to chat idly to the guard. She talked about anything that she could think of. While the two were chatting about art and the weather, a man went into the building unnoticed. He headed to the third floor. After a few minutes, the man reappeared next to the woman, and the couple made a hasty retreat. They drove away in a rust-red sports car.

Missing Artwork
Since the security guard got suspicious that the couple left without going inside the museum, he went to investigate. However, he already had a sinking feeling about the whole thing. It was 1985, and at that time, the museum had no security cameras inside which could have caught the man in the act. As soon as the security guard saw the empty frame, he knew what had happened. The couple stole the artwork.
