It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery&#8217;s history. Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly \u2013 he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television. What happened next became the stuff of legend. Only 50 years later did the full story emerge \u2013 Kempton had spun a web of lies.
