British auctioneer Matthew Haley noticed the seal of the Goeldi Museum on a 17th century natural history manuscript that came up for sale and became suspicious, contacting the Museum. Eventually, the Brazilian Federal police, Scotland Yard and Interpol became involved. The work, stolen in 2008 from the Goeldi's rare books collection, was officially recovered this week.

The Brazilian Federal Police, in collaboration with Scotland Yard, recovered TODAY in London a rare Dutch book from the year 1658 that was stolen from the Goeldi Museum, in Belém do Pará (where I work!), in 2008. The valuable work by doctor Willem Piso presents drawings and descriptions of flora, fauna and medicinal plants of Brazil based on his historic expedition in the early 17th century together with geographer and astronomer Georg Marcgrave.

There‘s a bunch of book thieves going around prestigious #libraries and swapping #Pushkin #FirstEditions for (so the library officials say) high quality facsimiles. The @stabi_berlin
has been targeted , also national libraries in Poland and the Baltic states.
It’s a wild story, and the forgers’ skills seem to be very remarkable.

2/2 Joku persoonallisuushäiriödiagnoosi tolla #Huuto-varkaallakin varmaan on (esim. narsismi), mutta hänellä ei ole niin mitään #karisma a.
Hänestä tulee mieleen vain pullisteleva, uhoava rassukka.
Aloin miettiä, että kumpiahan ns. mestaririkollisissa on enemmän (jos saat varastettua Huudon olet mestaririkollinen, vaikkakin karsimaton rassukka). Esim. ne #Katiska-tyypit; kun katson vain Yleä, en ole heistä kertovia #TrueCrime-sarjoja nähnyt, enkä tiedä.
1/2 Areenalla on #ArtCrimes #TrueCrime -sarja. Aloin katsoa.
#Munch in Huudon varastaneen tyypin päämotivaatio ollut performanssi. Adrenaliini ja huomio.

Siinä mielessä toi mieleeni Uuden Sherlockin Moriatryn. Jolle kaikki oli nim. om. performanssia. Toki tyyppi oli myös pelottava psykopaatti. Mutta myös tavattoman karismaattinen.
Aus dem #britishmuseum sind über Jahre wertvolle Stücke verschwunden, bis zu 2.000, aber ewig wurde nix gemacht. Jetzt ermittelt Scotland Yard und der Chef des Museums tritt zurück. #Artcrimes #restitution

It’s really wild that Shelby (& the #metmuseum ) have gotten away with this so long (These are all museum-grade artefacts that fall under severe export restrictions since the 1980s at least) and so often (This is at least the third time Shelby is implicated with #lootedart & #artsmuggling .

@adhdcrafters Confession: I accidentally left two paintbrushes sitting in manky paint water for an entire week. They were cheap paintbrushes, but they still didn't deserve that 😂 #ArtCrimes
Drogendealer schmeißen alle 2 Wochen ihr Handy samt Karte weg. Die Polizei kennt einen Trick: sie hören das Telefon der Geliebten ab. Der wird als erstes die neue Nummer mitgeteilt. #artcrimes
currently looking for decent reference to draw a d20 fortune cookie but so many of these just look like...butts or vulvas. #ArtCrimes
