Olympia Returned

In September 2009 I reported that Rene Magritte's Olympia (1948) had been stolen at gunpoint from the Rene Magritte Museum in Jette, Belgium (CLICK). Yesterday the museum announced that the painting has been returned, because the thieves had given up trying to sell it and wanted to be rid of it (title link). Sensitive crooks! It would have been safer for them to destroy it.
