Heather Mills called the police last night over the theft of $19.5 million in art, including works by Picasso and Renoir, from the country estate she shared with singer/songwriter Paul McCartney.
Turns out her estranged husband “had taken the paintings and reprogrammed the estate’s alarm codes, and informed her Thursday night by text message,” according to the Associated Press. Police said it was a civil, not criminal, matter between the warring spouses.
Reprogramming and text messaging—that’s divorce, high-tech style. But some things do stay the same: Everyone wants the Picasso.
