Many people go to a large city in Italy to see art. This city has a famous house for pictures. The house is a museum. People love the art in this museum. Some pictures are old and beautiful. They cost much money.

Last week, something bad happened at night. The city was quiet and people were at home. Three men go into the museum. It is very dark. The men take many pictures from the walls. They work fast. The museum has bells to help the police, but the bells do not ring. The men take the art and go away.

In the morning, the workers go into the museum. They see the empty walls. They are very sad. They call the police. The police come and look at the museum. The police look at the doors and the windows. They look for the men.

The leader of the city speaks to the people. He is very sad too. He says the pictures are for everyone. The art is very important for the city. Now, the walls in the museum are empty. People want the pictures back. They do not like this bad thing.

Now, the police look at many places. They want to find the men and the art. The police talk to people in the city. They ask for help. Many people want to help the police because they love the museum. They want to see the beautiful pictures again.

This is a big problem for the city. The museum is closed for now. The police work every day and every night. They hope to find the art soon. The people wait for good news. They want their art to come home to the large museum.
