I'm not questioning the painting's authenticity. I'm merely bewildered that someone would steal a Van Gogh that doesn't look like a Van Gogh to the untrained eye - how are you going to impress your billionaire friends with that hanging over the fireplace of your lair?

Although the thief will probably just blackmail the insurance/museum, so the style of the painting doesn't matter at all.
