Paintings by Picasso, Matisse, and Modigliani, stolen at Paris Museum of Modern Art

 A lone hooded man who squirmed through a broken window and evaded security alarms stole five paintings by Picasso, Matisse and other artists overnight Wednesday from the Paris Museum of Modern Art, in a brash theft valued somewhere between $100 million and $125 million. Museum officials discovered the theft shortly before 7 a.m. Thursday, and said they had captured video images of the black-clad burglar as he stole into the museum’s Art Deco building, which sits across from the Seine and near the Eiffel Tower. The burglary — which triggered no electronic alarms — immediately raised fresh questions about museum security in the French capital.
