Stephane Brietwieser stole over 300 art pieces in the course of 200 heists. While travelling around Europe and working as a waiter in the mid-nineties, Stephane orchestrated cunning heists almost fortnightly. His routine nature and relentlessness led the Guardian to call him ‘arguably the world’s most consistent art thief’. However, Stephane never made a penny from any of his exploits – the prolific thief has kept every piece for his personal art collection at his home.
