Blog 2: Crime in Canada

In Montreal, Canada a stolen artifact was found two years after it was stolen.  The fragment from a Persian bas-relief sculpture was recovered last month in an apartment.  It was taken from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in September 2011.  Police say that the object had an estimated value of over one million dollars.  A search warrant was set to search the suspect’s house earlier this year.  The artifact was stolen but by whom is not yet discovered or how.  The information that remains unknown is that of who stole it, how and how it ended up in Edmonton. 

Crime is not something that is unfortunately confounded to only one country.  Throughout the world we see that crime is rapid but often we ask why crime is caused and what are major factors to it.  First, in the case mentioned above we see much more elaborate schemes.  Crime comes in all different sizes varying from petty offenses to the stealing of million dollars artifacts.  In this case what most people would gather from this case is that the man was doing the crime for money.  It is unknown the suspects background so it is hard to tell what type of class he was in or where he was from.  Often when you know what kind of home life a felon has or were raised in it can help discover the causes and possible reasons for the crime.  The mystery of the crime is often what makes stories like these one.
