As the article notes, what is remarkable about the Gardner Museum thefts is the quantity of items stolen _and_ that none of them have turned up. A similar crime is de Kooning's Woman-Ochre in 1985. Its theft and recovery in 2017 is an interesting story[1]. Either someone is holding these artworks privately in some remote area and it's an incredibly well kept family secret or, in my sole opinion, the works have been destroyed or damaged beyond recovery i.e. disposed into the Boston Harbor.

Neighbors wondered how they could afford so much travel. I also wondered how they had a home on 20 acres on public salaries. Gotta wonder if they stole other art and sold it on the black market.
