Thief Steals Picasso Sketch from SF Art Gallery

On Tuesday morning, this guy walks into an art gallery on the corner of Union Square in San Francisco and just takes a Picasso sketch off the wall and walks out. Apparently, no one saw him do it. The surveillance camera of a store nearby had a video of him walking down the street with it. Then he hopped in a cab and went to the Palomar Hotel on Market and 4th, about 2 blocks away. I think this was how they caught him...the found the cab he took and figured out he went to the Palomar Hotel and then pieced it together from that. Insane.
