Toronto police recently laid charges in connection with the theft, but the rings have not yet been recovered. On March 12 , police say, a woman walked out of the Gardiner Museum with a rock with an estimated value of $22,000. The investigation is still open, but police have posted photos of the suspect from the museum’s security camera, last seen walking south on Queen’s Park. In real life, in Toronto at least, the suspects look like your buddy’s grandmother or a schlubby guy in a tracksuit, allegedly ripping off museum pieces and getting away — with neither cunning nor fuss. A perfect example is the new Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto, which will have a free, first-floor common area with participatory activities for visitors when it opens in May.
