In May 2010
five works were stolen from the Musee d'Art Moderne near the Eiffel tower. Now three individuals are being detained in connection with the thefts, though the works are still missing. From

The three, a woman suspected of taking part in the theft and two people suspected of handling stolen goods, were arrested and charged over the robbery of the five paintings, by Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Ferdinand Leger and Amedeo Modigliani, and placed in custody on September 16, the official said.
A lone burglar sheared off a gate padlock and broke a window to get into the city-run Musee d'Art Moderne in the brazen operation during the night of May 19 last year.
The paintings were found to be missing just as the museum, a major tourist attraction near the Eiffel Tower, was about to open.
Paris mayor Bertrand Delanoe later said one of the museum's alarms had been "partly malfunctioning" since the end of March, and that it was still awaiting repair when the thieves struck.

I hope artworks like this with really great value are more secured than ever. I guess museums have to double their security and change as well in their security plans to improve more and at least avoid having this kind of stealing things that is very valuable and priceless. Michigan Real Estate CE students says one time as I cam remember that every piece of such artwork is actually not just a piece but worth more than a thousand pieces that's why it is so important.
