This obsession began when I watched The Thomas Crown Affair for the first time. At 19, I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to be René Russo hunting down the stolen masterpieces or Pierce Brosnan making off with them. The heist was so smart and so beautifully orchestrated that I became addicted to art heists from that moment on.
