Wezi waliingia kwa nguvu katika makumbusho ya kanda ya Ufaransa mchana kweupe na kuiba michoro kadhaa ya Pierre-Auguste Renoir, mamlaka za Ufaransa zilisema, katika shambulio lililodumu dakika chache tu kabla ya kundi hilo kutoroka. Wafanyakazi wa makumbusho na wageni walikuwepo wakati huo, ingawa hakuna majeruhi waliripotiwa. Wapelelezi walielezea operesheni hiyo kuwa ya haraka na inaonekana ilipangwa vizuri, ikilenga kazi maalum badala ya kujaribu wizi mpana zaidi.
Polisi wa Ufaransa wamefungua uchunguzi kuhusu wizi huo, na wataalamu wa uhalifu wa sanaa wameletwa kusaidia kufuatilia kazi zilizoibiwa, ambazo zinaonekana kuwa ngumu kuuzwa hadharani kutokana na umaarufu wao na chanzo kilichoandikwa. Wizi wa makumbusho unaolenga kazi za Impressionist umepiga taasisi za Ufaransa mara kwa mara katika miaka ya hivi karibuni, huku michoro iliyoibiwa wakati mwingine ikijitokeza tena miaka baadaye baada ya kupitia mitandao ya sanaa ya soko haramu, ingawa mingi haipatikani tena.
