Two of Four Stolen Masterpieces found in Zurich

Two masterpieces that were peeled from the E.G. Buehrle art museum last week were found in good condition Monday in an unlocked car parked outside a nearby psychiatric hospital.

The two other paintings are still Swayze.

The recovered paintings were Claude Monet’s “Poppies near Vetheuil” (1879) and Vincent van Gogh’s “Chestnut in Bloom” (1890) were found by a parking lot attendant who contacted police about 4 p.m. Monday.

The two paintings, which have a combined value of about $64 million, were among four stolen on Feb. 10 by three masked men in a dope daylight robbery at a private villa housing the E.G. Buehrle Collection. It was Switzerland’s largest-ever art robbery.

The two paintings were found Monday in a white Opel Omega with stolen license plates. They were found less than a mile from the museum.

The museum had offered a $91,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of the four paintings, but neither police nor museum officials would say Tuesday if the parking lot attendant, who was not identified, would collect part of it. Or if he was part of the heist, on a flip the script move.

Authorities are continuing to search for the two other stolen paintings, “Count Lepic and his Daughters” (1871) by Edgar Degas and “Boy in a Red Jacket” (1888) by Paul Cezanne, which is the freshest piece in the museum.

Sounds like someone in the crew caught some nerves. Remember back in third grade when you heisted the test answers from the teacher? Someone in the crew always wanted to turn themself in when the heat came down.

That is why I prefer working Dolo.
