Carrying out more than two hundred heists over nearly ten years--in museums and cathedrals all over Europe--Breitwieser, along with his girlfriend who worked as his lookout, stole more than three hundred objects, until it all fell apart in spectacular fashion. In The Art Thief, Michael Finkel brings us into Breitwieser's strange and fascinating world. Unlike most thieves, he never stole for money, keeping all his treasures in a single room where he could admire them to his heart's content. Possessed of a remarkable athleticism and an innate ability to assess practically any security system, Breitwieser managed to pull off a breathtaking number of audacious thefts. Yet these strange talents bred a growing disregard for risk and an addict's need to score, leading Breitwieser to ignore his girlfriend's pleas to stop--until one final act of hubris brought everything crashing down."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Breitwieser, Stéphane, $d 1971- 650 0 $a Art thieves $z France $v Biography. 650 0 $a Art thefts $x Investigation $z France. 650 0 $a Art thieves $v Biography. 650 0 $a Large type books. 600 17 $a Breitwieser, Stéphane, $d 1971- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01648976. 650 7 $a Art thefts $x Investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01202359. 650 7 $a Art thieves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815841. 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896. 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02061051. 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919985. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 8 945 $a lpt 952 $l ZLPD437 $d 20240521154849.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240402012114.0 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20231212011015.0 952 $l YYPC162 $d 20231019031913.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230912014029.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230902011705.0 952 $l PZPA094 $d 20230818021338.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230802012026.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=864991A430FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
