[edit] Art theft

On 10 February 2008, four paintings worth CHF 180 million ($162.5 million) were stolen.[1] [2] [3] It is believed to be the most worth of art work stolen in history.[4] The four paintings are Cézanne's The Boy in the Red Vest (1894/1895)[5], Degas' Count Lepic and His Daughters (1871)[6], Monet's Poppies near Vétheuil (1879)[7] and Van Gogh's Blossoming Chestnut Branches (1890)[8].

Two of the four paintings, Monet's Poppies near Vétheuil and Van Gogh's Blossoming Chestnut Branches, were recovered on February 18, 2008 in a car parked at a nearby hospital's parking lot.[4][9]
