Well That Was Quick

Just before I crashed last night I heard a news item about an art theft from the Whitworth Gallery in Manchester, which is a very good gallery, by the way, should you ever find yourself with some free time in that part of town.

Anyway - as of about twenty minutes ago, the BBC are reporting that the three most significant of the stolen items have been retrieved from behind a public toilet. Lovely.

Supposedly it was a stunt to demonstrate flaws in the security of the gallery.

There's a bit on d4d about it too...
