The painting he drew was of teachers and students but mostly teachers. In a museum called Raphaels room. Actually, I don’t know if it is a Museum. In the years 1509 and 1511 there was a famous painting called the School of Athens. The cost is probably high but the actual price is unknown. It was stolen on Tuesday the 30th of November. Time: 8:30am the usual school starting time. The police checked the security cameras and to their shock two men were carrying the painting towards the door. They looked like they were 13 and ready to create chaos. It Maybe still with the thieves we didn’t get a close shot of their face. They just took it off the wall and left taking it with h\them. The people at the museum said that it was taken when they were going to see it. They suggested it may have been the notorious wet bandits or so they call themselves hehehe notorious. These Fools have been caught before help us capture them again.
