Two of Four Stolen Masterpieces found in Zurich

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.

Kelly Pavlik defeats Jermain Taylor Again in Rematch

Kelly Pavlik defeats Jermain Taylor Again in Rematch

Kelly Pavlik defeated Jermain Taylor for the second time on Saturday night, with a 12-round unanimous decision in a at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas.

Pavlik, 25, now undefeated in 33 fights, was contractually obliged to afford Taylor a re-match after flooring the former undisputed middleweight champion on September 29, in Atlantic City, when he captured the WBC and WBO middleweight titles.

The titles were not on the line in this fight as the two fighters had agreed to fight at a limit of 166lbs, a “catch-weight” above the normal middleweight limit.

Pavlik received decisive scores of 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113 on the cards.

Many think Taylor’s stock actually is rising after his second loss.

Next up for Pavlik could be the winner of Joe Calzaghe and Bernard Hopkins.

But more importantly I am posting this because I have twisted one of the girls in the video. Guess which one?

I am really starting to develop a taste for video girls. Well not really “starting”. I have had an addiction for a while now. You should look into it.

Paintings by Old Masters Heisted in Zurich

Paintings by Old Masters Heisted in Zurich

Four oil paintings worth more than $163.5 Million (£80m) by Monet, Degas, van Gogh and Cezanne were taken in the weekend robbery from the E.G. Buehrle museum.

The heisted pieces were Claude Monet’s “Poppy field at Vetheuil” (1880), Edgar Degas’ “Ludovic Lepic and his Daughter”(1871), Vincent van Gogh’s “Blooming Chestnut Branches” (1890), and Paul Cezanne’s “Boy in the Red Waistcoat” (1890).

Three G’s wearing ski masks and dark clothing ran up in the museum half-an-hour before closing on Sunday. This was largest art robbery in Switzerland’s history and one of the biggest ever in Europe.

While one of the men used a pistol to force museum personnel to the floor, the other two heistmen went into the exhibition hall and collected the four masterpieces. They were said to have spoken German with a Slavic accent (but of course they might have been disguising their voices).

The FBI estimates the market for stolen art at $6 billion(£3bn) annually (making it a very robust industry) and Interpol has about 30,000 pieces of stolen art in its database.

Three other versions of the stolen Cezanne painting — perhaps the most famous of those seized — exist in the National Gallery in Washington, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia. Its value alone is thought to be $90 million.

Last week, two Pablo Picasso paintings were stolen from a Swiss exhibition near Zurich.

The two oil paintings, Tete de cheval (Head of horse) and Verre et pichet (Glass and pitcher), were on loan from the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany.

Again, authorities are talking about “entirely new dimension in criminal culture” which I talked about in Criminality in The Luxury Sector.

Swiss Police called it a “spectacular art robbery.” This is one of the few times I agree with police.

The three G’s are at large and presumibly living large.

No one was hurt.
