The theft of The Weeping Woman from the National Gallery of Victoria is a huge loss for art lovers and highlights the importance of museum security.

> It has been suggested that the thieves knew their art history: the method of the theft was an ironic homage to the 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre.

In both cases, the thieves unscrewed the painting and took it. Feels a bit over the top to call it an homage, let alone an ironic one.
