00:00Masked Thieves, made off with three paintings by masters, Renoir, Cezanne, and Matisse,
00:05worth more than $10 million from a museum in Italy.
00:09The whole heist took less than three minutes. They were pros.
00:12A crew of at least four busted through the front entrance of a private museum in the Italian countryside
00:17just south of Parma sometime in the middle of the night between March 22nd and 23rd.
00:22Now, they tried to take a fourth painting, but ditched it after they set off the alarms.
00:25The robbers then escaped through the museum's gardens, hopped a fence, and made their getaway.
00:30Now, authorities put the price of the paintings at $10 million,
00:33but some news outlets think the value is much, much higher,
00:36noting that that Renoir alone could be worth more than $7 million.
00:40One Italian art expert said he expected a ransom request for the painting's safe return,
00:45but so far, as of Monday night, there were no leads and no demands.
