In this episode of Super Respectable, Dave talks about the Kunsthal Art Heist that happened in the Netherlands in 2012, where a group of thieves got away with seven pieces of art. He discusses the hilarious aftermath of the heist that led to the thieves being caught. The guys also share their views on paying to get into museums and how rich people sometimes use art to evade authorities.
