Talking about how heists are inherently cool and sexy is really not helping you beat the “a core problem of our age is that too many people think movies are real” charges, tbh

yes, heists are very cool and sexy in movies. as in works of fiction

Anyway, I am a museum enthusiast and stealing from public institutions then selling those historic works of art to evil, rich people who will stash them away where no one can see them makes me very angry

I would watch a reverse heist movie where people stole from a rich guy's hypersecuritized mansion and gave the artwork to a public university's special collections

Same (though sadly it pretty much never works this way in real life)

Even granting a kind-hearted thief the museum would probably not want to receive much less display art that recently stolen
