After being stolen in February 2007, three important Picasso paintings were finally recovered by the French police, which has also placed the suspects in custody. The three compositions, estimated at around 69 million dollars, had been stolen from the Parisian home of Diana Widmaier Picasso, the Spanish master's granddaughter, at the beginning of this year. Against all odds, the thieves had a field day, as they literally entered the house without much trouble, took the canvases from their frames and simply rolled them , exiting just as peaceful. According to authorities, the thieves might have been watching the house for a long time.
