A thief in Paris planned to steal some
paintings from the Louvre.
After careful planning he got past security,
stole the paintings and made it safely to his van.
However, he was captured only two blocks
away when his van ran out of gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such
a crime and then make such an obvious error,
he replied, "Monsieur, that is the reason I
stole the paintings."
