> It has been suggested that the thieves knew their art history: the method of the theft was an ironic homage to the 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre.
In both cases, the thieves unscrewed the painting and took it. Feels a bit over the top to call it an homage, let alone an ironic one.

I think the irony is that in 1911, Picasso was accused of the theft, whereas in 1986, one of Picasso's works was stolen.
