A 200-year-old painting of George Washington was stolen from a Colorado storage unit in January..
The Englewood Police Department (EPD) received a call Jan. 22 about the theft of the “historical painting” from a storage facility, but they believe the theft occurred two weeks earlier on Jan 10 ...
“The painting is of our first president, George Washington, and was created in the early 1800s... The approximate size of the piece is 24 inches by 30 inches, measured in a gold-colored frame. The value is undisclosed and hard to estimate due to its historical significance,”
...
Police told the outlet they don’t know if the alleged thieves knew that the painting was inside the storage unit at the time of the theft.
“The victim in the family is just asking for this painting to be returned... It’s been in their family for 50 years, and obviously it’s an important piece of their history, as well as the nation’s history.”
F us???
Pretty much. It means to “take from the people in the form of a mandatory tax.”
How could it help me? Maybe you should suggest it to the idiot who wrote the title.
