Brazen Daytime Art Theft In L.A.

“Police detectives have issued an international alert for a dozen paintings by Marc Chagall, Diego Rivera and other masters that were stolen from the suburban [L.A.] home of an elderly couple during a daring daytime break-in. The paintings were worth millions of dollars and include rare works by early 20th century artists Emil Nolde and Kees van Dongen. A $200,000 reward was offered Tuesday for help in recovering the artwork.”
