SURREAL HEIST: Brazen thief steals Salvador Dali etching valued at $20,000 from San Francisco art gallery.
A brazen thief stole a Salvador Dali etching valued at $20,000 from a San Francisco gallery, then walked off down the street with the work in his hand.
Rasjad Hopkins, a gallery director, said he was working alone and may have turned his back away from the front of the store, where the piece was displayed on an easel facing the window. The etching normally was secured with a tether, but it wasn't at the time of the theft, Hopkins said. Although art thieves sometimes have clients who pay for certain pieces,"I think it was a theft of opportunity," Hopkins said.
