Retrial in Austria’s Greatest Art Heist

There is going to be a retrial the man who pulled of Austria’s most spectacular art heist from Vienna’s Art History Museum. Robert Mang, an alarm systems expert, was already sentanced him to four years in prison. He is getting the retrial on a separate charge of attempted extortion after he allegedly threatened to destory the prized work “Saliera” or salt cellar by Florentine Renaissance master Benvenuto Cellini (valued at $66.5 million by my estimations). “Saliera” was recovered after Mang turned himself in.

This heist was all wrong for many reasons. First of all, you never and I repeat never turn yourself in. Leave the country, hide out, do anything but admit defeat. Second, you never go the “extortion” route with heisted art. It never works out and threatening to destroy beautiful art pieces is wack. You have to have respect for The Game. It is always best to line up a buyer Before your heist. Third, although Benvenuto Cellini is a great artist, some of his other art is too homoerotic for my tastes (In Mang’s defense, there is a pretty fly girl, for those days anyway, in “Saliera”). That being said, Cellini was also known to date many of the female models he worked with. Dating female models is something I can apperciate…..The Rest is Up to You…..
