Unidentified thieves walked away with three paintings early Monday morning from the National Art Gallery in Athens. Paintings stolen include "Woman's Head" (1939) by Picasso, "Mill" (1095) by Mondrian and a sketch of St. Diego de Alcala by 16th century Italian artist, Guglielmo Caccia. The Picasso painting was given to the Greek people as a gift by the artist. The total value of the paintings is estimated at €5.5 million (US$7 million). The heist took just seven minutes.
