FBI - Most Wanted Art

The FBI released a list of the world's top ten art crimes asking for the public's help in tracking down art masterpieces by Cezanne, Van Gogh, Leanardo da Vinci and other precious artwork stolen from museums and private collections. The ten criminal cases represent art losses estimated at 600 million dollars. Among the high-profile art thefts are Edvard Munch's "The Scream", stolen last year from the museum bearing his name in Oslo, Norway, two Vincent Van Gogh paintings with a combined worth of 30 million dollars stolen in Amsterdam in 2002, Paul Cezanne's "View of Auvers-sur-Oise," Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio's "Nativity" and Leonardo da Vinci's "Madonna of the Yarnwinder".
