Yikes! Glad that wasn't me!

This is a bit lighter-hearted than the usual fare in this forum, but I figured this could be a thread for when we hear something and say to ourselves (as the title states) "Yikes - glad that wasn't me!"

The article that inspired this thread:

"Student stumbles into $80 million Picasso painting and damages it"

That article reminded me of something I'd seen about Steve Wynn. He had paid $48,000,000.00 for the painting and had finalized a deal to sell it for $139,000,000.00 when the catastrophe happened.

For those of you who might not know who Wynn is, he is a mogul in the Hotel and Casino business. His "Wynn Towers" in Las Vegas are among the most exclusive on the Strip.
