Not normally a topic of this blog, but this article is of interest 'The "theft" of the Duke of Wellington', The Lady. In 1961 a retired bus driver stole a Goya from the National Gallery. The heist gripped the public’s imagination and made legal history. His defence? Pensioners were being ripped off .The case was defended by Jeremy Hutchinson, who was then 100 years old.
