He never resorted to violence – his audacious thefts all occurred during daylight hours\, most with the aid of his girlfriend\, Anne-Catherine Kleinklaus\, who served as lookout. And unlike nearly every other art thief\, Breitwieser did not steal for money. He displayed his treasures in a secret lair where he and his girlfriend could admire them. Yet even more astounding than his crimes is the spectacular events that brought everything crashing down.  \nThe Art Thief\, based on a series of exclusive interviews with Breitwieser\, the first he has ever granted to an American journalist\, details a riveting story of love\, crime\, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost. \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n  \n\n\n \n \n Nonfiction Book Club Registration - April 2026\n \n \n your nameemail*\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/nfapril26/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Adult Events,Featured GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260427T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260427T103000 DTSTAMP:20260803T175217Z CREATED:20260203T192355Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260803T175217Z UID:54111-1777284000-1777285800@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:All Together: Preschool Storytime DESCRIPTION:Join us on Mondays and Tuesdays for stories and songs!
