Stolen Art Watch, Smash and Grab Robbers Jailed, Swedish Helicopter Cash Robbers Charged, Nothing Recovered, Surprise, Surprise !!!
Breaking news
Smash and Grab jewel robbers get total of 26 years jail time and ten guys, nine Swede one Syrian, although some Swedes are ethnic immigrants, charged in relation to Swedish Helicopter cash raid. more to follow...........Graff Robbers await their fate................
Update:
-
Wonder what stolen Art and Antiques Police recovered, if anything, when they raided a flat in Euston Road London recently ???
-
As regards any reward offers by insurance companies for the recovery of stolen diamonds, well, there are no rewards payable just Police waiting to arrest those who try to hand back any stolen diamonds, be they from Graffs, Saudi Princess or any held by the Pink Panther Gang bosses.
-
Anyone trying to profit from the return of the diamonds stolen from a Saudi Princess in Sardinia August 2009, Italy will be arrested as soon as there is a glimpse of any of the Saudi Princess diamonds.
-
February 6, 2008 - Two Picasso paintings worth several million dollars, the "Tete de Cheval" (Horse's head), from 1962, and "Verre et Pichet" (Glass and pitcher), from 1944 were stolen from a cultural centre in the eastern Swiss town of Pfaeffikon.
-
February 11, 2008 - Oil paintings by Cezanne, Degas, van Gogh and Monet were among those stolen from a museum in Zurich. The paintings are said to be worth over $90.99 million. The stolen Cezanne, Degas and two Picasso's stolen in Switzerland in two separate raids Feb 2008 do not attract any reward or fee payment at this time.
-
Anyone offering any payment is lying and trying to get a glimpse so Police can swoop.
-
Both the Buehrle Museum, owner of the Cezanne and Degas, and the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany that owns the two Picasso's are only offering payment to those who will sting and cause the arrest of people, not realising they are being stung by those who say they can recover these paintings, Cezanne, Degas, and two Picasso's, but in reality they have no chance.
-
Montenegro was the last resting place and unless the Police in Montenegro are paid there will be no recovery, according to Dick Ellis, who is working for the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany who own the two Picasso's stolen whilst on loan in Switzerland Feb 2008. Dick Ellis visited Serbia and Montenegro and when he returned to the UK said:
"Cannot make any recoveries in Serbia or Montenegro as payment will have to be made, not just to the thieves and handlers, but also to Police, who are corrupt to the core"
-
However, certain people who know, are aware of the current sting attempts, so be careful if you are trying to sting as you could get stung yourself.
-
Anyone attempting to sting stolen art and antiques back from the Underworld does so at their own risk, but with the Da Vinci Madonna case still fresh in the mind of all those involved in the art related crime arena, means, the fact anyone claiming to represent the victims or insurance companies, are regarded as Undercover Police until otherwise proven.

Dick Ellis is trying to sting the Irish guys who hold some Gardner art.
He is going to get them all arrested soon, so beware of the Dick Ellis false promises and undercover sting operation happening now in Ireland.
