This is very odd. If this is the case I'm thinking of, I was one of the two officers that went down to Houston to arrest this guy. The lead detective on the case set up a meeting with him, and we grabbed him while we were down there and Houston PD came and picked him up (technically it was their jurisdiction). But, as has been stated, this happened over 20 years ago, so unless there is ANOTHER case of pre-Columbian art that was stolen by a temp painter...yeah, not sure why this is just now becoming a story.

Weird.

This board never disappoints.
