Today's linked article, from the International Herald Tribune, reports that one of the Picasso paintings stolen from a gallery in Sao Paulo earlier this year has been recovered. Interestingly, though, the Brazilian police who found the painting weren't looking for it. They were wire-tapping three men they suspected of planning thefts from banks and ATMs when the Picasso was mentioned. The men were then arrested, and one revealed the location of the painting - in an attic, in a plastic bag, apparently in perfect condition. I suppose that's what you'd call a happy accident.
