By HARRISON SMITH | The Washington Post | Published: March 12, 2021 On the morning of Feb. 12, 1994, a pair of thieves stole a ladder, smashed a second-floor window and made off with a masterpiece from the National Gallery in Oslo, grabbing Edvard Munch s 1893 painting The Scream and leaving behind a pile of broken glass, a pair of wire cutters and a postcard. The front of the card reproduced A Good Story, a painting by Norwegian artist Marit Walle showing three red-faced men howling with laughter. On the back was a message scrawled by one of the thieves: Thanks for the poor security. Security footage revealed that it took less than a minute for the thieves to complete their smash-and-grab, although one of the intruders had fallen down the 12-foot ladder on his first attempt to climb its steps. To get the bulky painting down to the street, he leaned out the window and slid the frame down the ladder s rails, into the hands of his accomplice.
