Slog - Comments on Picasso Heist in the P-I http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/picasso_heist_in_the_pi Some Picasso etchings were stolen from a Bellevue gallery last week, and the P-I is all over it. Embedded in their story about the robbery last week, they had a slide-scroll pentaptych--four surveillance images and a police sketch--of the woman who police say distracted a gallery employee while her two cronies came in and lifted the works off the wall. Small version (so it fits here): And here's a sextaptych (can that please be a word?) of the cronies in action: (Follow this link and you can see these better.)

Did someone approach her or did they catch her or just let her go? If they didn't get her it's kind of stupid to publicize that they recognized her. Now she knows the heat is on and may figure out how to beat it.
