Five very important works were stolen yesterday in Paris, totaling at least $100 million dollars combined.  However, the paintings are far too well-known to be sold without detection.  Police are still trying to determine how the paintings were stolen without being detected by the extremely intricate alarm system.  Among the works stolen was a Matisse and Picasso.
