U Bostonu su vraćene i poslednje dve slike, iz grupe od sedam slika ukradenih 1978. godine, njihovom vlasniku. Pljačka prilikom koje su te slike ukradene, bila je najveća ikada sprovedena u nekom privatnom domu u Masačusetsu.
Citat:Yesterday, after a saga that spanned two continents, featured characters ranging from a Pittsfield thief to a British sleuth of stolen art, and culminated in the 2008 conviction of a Watertown lawyer-turned-artist, the last two of the missing paintings were returned to Bakwin.
Federal prosecutors turned over two small works by the French artist Jean Jansem to Bakwin at the US attorney’s office in Boston. Bakwin, who bought the two paintings in Paris in the late 1950s, said he had not seen them since they disappeared 32 years ago and was grateful to get them back, even though they were the least valuable of the lot. Together, the two are worth no more than $10,000.
“My hobby was collecting art,’’ the 76-year-old man said with a catch in his voice. “When they’re taken away from you, you feel like something has left your life. It’s a big hole.’’

Krajem novembra u blizini Madrida ukraden je kamion u kom su se nalazila umetnička dela vredna oko pet miliona evra. Tri lopova su ušla u kamion natovaren slikama i skulpturama, i jednostavno se odvezla u nepoznatom pravcu. Prošlog ponedeljka saopšteno je da je pronađeno 34 od ukupno 35 ukradenih umetničkih predmeta.
Citat:Police said today they had recovered 34 of the 35 works which had been stolen when thieves broke into the Crisóstomo warehouse in Getafe, near Madrid, and used the keys kept in the truck's glovebox to drive off with a haul valued at €5m.
The truck had been parked at the warehouse for the weekend after bringing the artworks back from an exhibition at the Stefan Röpke gallery in Cologne, Germany. Security cameras recorded three people breaking into the warehouse.
Sources at some of the half-dozen Spanish galleries that loaned the works to the Röpke gallery said that many of them had not been insured.
The works were eventually discovered inside another truck parked on an industrial estate in the nearby town of Leganés, though police said they had not managed to arrest any of the three thieves who stole them.

Tekst iz "Blica" o najvećim krađama umetničkih dela u svetu, uz osvrt na neke ovdašnje slučajeve.
Citat:Krađa gotovo neprocenjivih umetničkih dela i dalje zadaje glavobolje policajcima i agentima širom sveta. I prošle godine lopovi su bili aktivni, što samo pokazuje da originalna umetnost ostaje najunosnije i najtraženije materijalno dobro na planeti.
