    Obviously stolen to order. The $1m reward is immaterial and it isn’t like they are ever going to appear on the open market any time. I’d say these are loooong gone.

    Ok. So I’ve got all these Warhols in my place and I’ve been staring at them for a while now. I still don’t get it. You say they’re worth 10 million?!?! Ooops. ; – P
