Luckily it all happened a long time ago, and since then security at the Gallery has been greatly improved. But I still feel odd, talking about the stolen Rembrant, hoping it doesn't put ideas into people's heads. If you look in the gallery now, all the pictures in the Rembrandt room are hanging on chains - except for the 4-times-stolen-Rembrandt which is screwed to the wall!
