Authorities in San Francisco are looking for a suspect who stole a Salvador Dali etching out of the art gallery. The etching which is titled “The Burning Giraffe” comes from the 1960s and is valued at around $20,000 dollars. “I turned my back to do something or talk to somebody. I was in the back of the gallery and when I turned back, it was gone. Bam. Just like that,” said Rasjad Hopkins the gallery’s associate director when speaking to KTVU.
I’m not sure how this Black dude walked in and got the piece because I can’t walk into the local corner store without the cashier staring at me. Regardless of the circumstances, he pulled it off and there was footage of the guy casually walking down the street with the etching. Watch it below
