There's nothing cool about stealing cultural artifacts and society's ability to enjoy them.


Arguably high profile thefts increase interest in art and therefore more people enjoy art.

Also artworks can still be enjoyed post-theft through replicas etc.

And if the artwork is returned, as in this case, it's just a big win all round. Creating a new performance artwork in the process.
