The value of research... Before you do something
 

OSLO, Norway (AP) - Two masked thieves stormed into an Oslo hotel Wednesday and stole what they thought were Edvard Munch paintings.

But police said they were only photocopies. The Hotel Continental, which has a large art collection, had replaced its original Munch paintings with photocopies following the theft of two Munch masterpieces from an Oslo museum last year, officials told news agency ANB. The two suspects fled in a car, which was found abandoned a few kilometres from the hotel, police said.

The photocopies, of the paintings Vampire, Self-portrait and Melancholy, were of little value, police said
