What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorProsecutors in France now say the suspects arrested over the stolen Renoir paintings were planning an imminent second robbery, and the two recovered paintings were found behind a wall.

  2. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterTHEY ALLEGEDLY BUILT A WALL, HANK, AND THEN THEY ALLEGEDLY PLANNED A SECOND JOB! I am told the detectives were eating gas station croissants!

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGas station croissants.

  4. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterSo the wall was storage between jobs! The alleged crew is basically a moving company with a very bad client list.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIf the wall was a down payment on a bigger wall, then the museum should be asking who is doing their hiring, because this crew was allegedly booked solid.

  6. Rosa Ticks · Live ReporterBOOKED SOLID AND NOW BOOKED!

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe only thing cut from this crew's schedule is the second job. Gloria Vance has the world news, and I hope no walls are involved.
