Joke!

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 the gendarme asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied,

“Monsieur, that is the very reason why I stole the paintings.

You see, I had no Monet

to buy Degas

to make the Van Gogh”
