11. The Paintings Came From The Most Significant Theft In Maine History

The detective who recovered the art, Michelle Fieler, went through the receipts of over 70 Beverly Hills pawn shops because of a lead that the pictures came to the area. She found four out of the six paintings in the Dina Collection pawn shop.

To try to find the last two paintings, the FBI mentioned they had a $20,000 reward for anyone who discovered the previous two pictures. Eventually, these paintings showed up in Boston. To this date, the NC. Wyeth theft is known as the most significant theft in Maine history.
