<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>His motive was to return the piece to Italy as a long overdue retaliation against France, whose former leader, Napoleon, stole boatloads of priceless art from Italy and sent it to Paris. A noble cause, but Leonardo actually brought the <em>Mona Lisa</em> to Paris himself in 1516, and it has been there ever since. Oh well, it&#8217;s the thought that counts. Vinny was arrested trying to sell it out of his closet.</p>
<p>Sister Windy would be ashamed!</p>
