The greatest heist of the 21st century has been carried out on Irish soil.
A huge painting of Irish two-time UFC champion Conor McGregor was stolen from a gallery near Grafton Street two days ago. The artist was left reeling after finding out that some cheeky fecker was found to be flaunting the painting on the upper deck of the 16 bus.
The man in question seemed to be 'pretty rough and out of it' and had no implications about showing the entire bus his prized possession. The artist made an appeal to the public on social media for anyone with information to contact him.

He made the point, 'It is a hard thing to carry around without being noticed.' The painting is bloody huge, how he managed to make it out with the thing is a feat in itself.
The gallery showed an image of the painting on their Twitter account asking to contact them if it's spotted.

The print itself is valued at €300, so the thief made some serious savings by getting away with it scot-free. Anyone with any information about the robbery should contact the Balla Bán Art Gallery – come on, lads, it's McGregor.
