The ruthless Euro-baron Goldfinger sought to steal a group of valued Robotech sci-f artworks from the Montreal Museum of Fine Art and employed a cunning group of infiltrating robbers called the Red Hood Gang.

The Red Hood Gang marched into the Montreal art museum in masks and wielding toy guns filled with corrosive acid and threatened to burn all the paintings unless they're handed the special Robotech collection series, or at least a few of them, leaving security personnel no choice but to hand them the valued item(s).

GOLDFINGER: This marks a great day in the history of art thefts, and I'll fund terrorism with the assets now!

MUSEUM MANAGER: We have no idea who's behind the Red Hood Gang's mission, but we're sad, since our museum is tops.

MONTEAL MONITOR (news-magazine): We believe this 'Red Hood Gang' may be tied to the Baron Goldfinger in Europe.

Oddly enough, a new team of thieves popped up in Europe after the Montreal Robotech heist. This trio of thieves called themselves the Pirates and sent an anonymous notice suggesting that they, like Red Hood Gang, were employed by Baron Goldfinger. The Pirates first hit Paris (France).

PIRATES: We shall enjoy tasty Euro-pastries before this unique Robotech-art heist at the Paris museum, brothers!

Now, these 'Pirates' were not as deadly or violent or loud as the Red Hood Gang and were actually Robin Hood vigilante-specialists seeking to subvert the aura of Baron Goldfinger with this media-diagonal claim they're linked to the baron's art enterprise. The Pirates however did wield toy (water) guns just like Red Hood, filled equally with corrosive acid.

PIRATES: We just wish to take some of the Robotech artworks and don't wish to spray the museum walls with gun-acid!

The Pirates stole a Robotech-artwork too which was very valuable but handed it secretly to Interpol-relations studying Goldfinger's involvement in terrorism-financing.

PIRATES: We now go to Amsterdam on Aeroflot airlines and take more Robotech art from the Dutch art museum, brothers!

Once more, these eccentric 'vigilante' Pirates entered a Euro-art museum and took Robotech art in a heist which once more was linked in the media gossip circle as linked to Baron Goldfinger, which enraged the baron who often visited this Dutch museum of cartoons/artworks. However, he had no space as of yet to deny anything to the Dutch cartoon/art museum!

Once more, the Robotech artwork(s) the 'Pirates' took was of great value and once more was turned to Interpol-relations agents studying Goldfinger's underground and overground society movements, and the Pirates claimed they're simply 'working within the Goldfinger media entertainment-circle to clear his name from isolated terrorist groups with no relation to the Dutch Robotech artwork(s) stolen.'

Once more the Pirates wielded toy (water) guns filled with acid and threatened to spray and tarnish the museum walls!

PIRATES: Finally, my merry brothers, we'll hit Frankfurt (Germany) for our final and third Robotech-heist!

This time, the Pirates walked in with handheld toy (water) pistols and threatened to spray the museum walls with gun-acid unless they're given access to the Robotech art. However, this time, they left behind replicas of the Robotech art, claiming they're 'secret gifts' from Goldfinger's relations.

This too was an Interpol-relations media work, and once more, the Robotech art was valued greatly, but the hope was that this sort of 'media confusion' would detract modern world-thieves all over the globe from tarnishing the social chat/talk surrounding the linking or Robotech-art with terrorism-financing!

ROBOTECH-ARTIST: I love piracy and Interpol and art-society gossip, but I don't wish for Robotech to be linked to terrorism.

The Pirates had succeeded. Everyone was wondering now if Baron Goldfinger targeted Robotech-art to add 'mystique' to underground global terrorism-financing. However, the media gossip compelled the nefarious Red Hood Gang, which was actually/truly employed by the ruthless Goldfinger to continue to steal artworks for terrorism-financing, to disjoin and dispel, leaving Goldfinger no choice but to hop on a metro-train out of Europe via the airport.

GOLDFINGER: Interpol's not heard the last words from this terrorism-financing legendary baron.

Sadly, the Pirates leader (Amlan Satan) discovered his girlfriend Esmerelda had been seduced and drawn into Goldfinger's empire during his underground world, a sure move made by agents of the Red Hood Gang to swipe away the underworld prowess of the Pirates of whom some insider-informant had relayed information regarding Amlan's girlfriend's identity.

AMLAN SATAN ('Pirates' Leader!): I may've lost my dear Esmerelda, but Robotech-art in Europe is now safe from dark minds!

Were these eccentric Robin Hood like vigilante-thieves known humorously as the 'Pirates' really the modern-day 'thieves of thieves' seeking to use Interpol-relations to dispel the darkness of terrorism-financing? This journalist-writer believes they really were! God bless the world of art, friends.
