#TheThiefCollector, a 2022 #Filmrise #documentary #DirectedBy #AllisonOtto is an interesting story about a seemingly average, white middle class couple who may have spent decades as prolific #ArtThieves, especially in the theft of #deKooning's #WomanOchre from the #UniversityOfArizona #MuseumOfArt in 1985.

Mostly a discussion of the eccentricities of their lives that support the theory, it ends with darkness similar to another thief's, Jack "#MurphTheSurf" Murphy
