| Ming Dynasty painting stolen during armed robbery from Richmond mall
I'm surprised such robbers are pulled off in Richmond when it seems like the RCMP always lurking around this part of Richmond.  Quote:
METRO VANCOUVER — A valuable painting from the Ming Dynasty was stolen from the Yaohan Center Mall in Richmond on Saturday during an armed robbery.
Two men wearing yellow security jackets entered the Chinese Painting Canada Ltd. at around 12:30 p.m. and produced a handgun, RCMP Cpl. Sherrdean Turley said in a news release.
The two male Caucasians fled before police arrived on the scene. Both suspects were around 5'9" and were wearing sunglasses, baseball hats and yellow security jackets.
No one was injured during the incident.
Turley said it is not known if the stolen Lan Ying painting is an original but it is valued at approximately $150,000 and has been passed down through many generations.
The men also took calligraphy art by Shi Kai Yuan, the first elected President of China, and two jade Buddha statues, all together valued at $50,000.
If you have any information regarding this incident, contact Cpl. Row of Richmond RCMP Serious Crimes at (604) 207-4713 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

but i like murd0cs idea more | werd. this sounds so fishy. two white guys stealing chinese antiques that most chinese wouldn't even know the value of. Seems like an insurance fraud, or someone wanted them and pay the thieves to steal it. first one seems more realistic....

WTF... I was there about 1:30! The parking lot was surprisingly empty, and I was wondering what was wrong, as it's usually difficult to find a spot right away.

the white guys had to be hired to steal it
either way, they can only sell it in the black market not to be caught

most likely the chinese painting is fake. How often do you see $150K painting (or product) in a mall without a security guard sitting in front of the store or extra security gate to their store.
I smell that this is an insurance claim scam.
