| Mona Lisa postcard vendors on the streets of Paris |
Once the theft happened, people found ways to capitalize on it and make some money for themselves. And one of the biggest ways was to make and sell postcards of the Mona Lisa. They range in every type imaginable --from basic ones showing the painting as she was with a small caption that she had been stolen from the Louvre -- all the way to imaginative ones where Mona Lisa is on a world tour.

| This one's for Catholics who pray to Saint Anthony - the patron saint for things gone missing. You hold this postcard up to a candle, a match or a cigar and the heat makes the Moan Lisa appear. |

| But no matter where she is, she's thumbing her nose at the whole world |
