I find it a bit ironic that given all the drama of what happened to this "priceless art" the original "owner" is painted as a self-made woman. Full disclosure, I know nothing of her, but how does one come to own several million dollars worth of art? Why is Christie's seen as a valid player in the artworld with all their billionaire bidders? To be clear, I'm not upset with the wealthy, but storytellers create their villains. Oh, and as a sidenote: Boston is crazy. I find the matter-of-factness of both robbers and cops to be quite an interesting study in the state of human nature. Both sides laugh. Both sides have bravado. Both sides believe they are on the right side. This is one of the most interesting aspects of the series to me.

It was more of a philosophical question, but thanks for the link! ;)
