Don't forget to rub it with lemons to make the invisible ink visible

A famous work of art like the Mona Lisa, maybe? It would be super hard to steal and you might not be able to fence it because it's too hot. Something like that would immediately go viral on the news and everyone on the planet would be looking out for it.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 11 points 2 years ago

some people steal art just for the thrill and don't even attempt to sell

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Stolen AGAIN?! (The theft plays a part in the painting's fame.)

[–] a_new_sad_me@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I understand from some podcast that the Mona Lisa is famousbecause it was stolen. Before that it was just another painting.

That's not necessarily valuable, exactly. Yes, companies charge a lot for consumer ink jet printer ink, but prices go down dramatically when you're talking about commercial printing. A two liter bottle of high-end dye sublimation ink runs about $200 (might be up since I last bought in 2021), and the dye sublimation ink for the HP printer I operate costs about $700/10L.

If your printer has replaceable print heads that aren't part of the ink cartridge, and if you can retrofit a bulk ink system, then you quickly find out that ink is pretty inexpensive.

It's not stealing if you give it back afterwards

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A crude oil supertanker. It would probably break international law to sell it to anyone willing to buy it.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago

You'd be surprised at how many nations would be willing to break that international law for some cheap oil.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like "getting away with it" has that covered, so it would be totally worth it.

[–] variants@possumpat.io 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought the stealing part you got away with but not the selling part

Nice try, thieves. I'm not giving you any ideas for things to steal. You should steal this idea instead.

Diamonds, or any sort of gemstone, as trying to sell those things would probably be as risky as stealing them in the first place.

Boatloads. If you can sell them, which you can’t.
