“The theft that occurred represents a brazen act that robs the public of our state’s cultural heritage,”

Does it though if it was

stolen from the Oakland Museum of California’s off-site storage facility

If bureaucrats keep things locked away from the public, when is it stealing and when is it liberating?

@yogthos@lemmy.ml reminds me of this article from Garrison Keillor

The jewel heist at the Louvre proves what I’ve long felt, that going to an art museum induces stupor and you don’t notice what’s right in front of you clearer than day.
