Prominent art collector, Richard L. Weisman reported to the LAPD on September 3, that several paintings by Andy Warhol were lifted from his home in Los Angeles. The abduction of Weisman's Warhol collection was a clean heist of eleven large canvas paintings. The LA times reported, "Police have no immediate leads or suspects other than a vague description of a maroon-colored van that, according to a witness, might have been in the driveway about the time of the theft." There is a $1 million dollar reward for the recovery of the collection, so when you're on the road- pay attention to any suspicious Art Theiving maroon colored vans- cause this ain't no Amber Alert, these are Warhols.
