WELLINGTON - Deputies are asking the public's help in locating two pieces of
art reported stolen from the grounds of the Cultural Trust of the Palm
Beaches months ago.

A bust of Beethoven, valued at $ 4,000, and an abstract of a woman with a
glass top, valued at $2,000, was reported stolen from 2000 Wellington Green
Drive between July 28 and July 31.

Detective Tom Gendreau said investigators don't know if the theft was
targeted or just random misbehavior:

"The most likely place (for the art works) is on somebody's patio or in
their house, somebody who is an art collector, or some kid ... who decided
this kind of art would be cool and trendy to put in their room," Gendreau
said.

Because of the unique sizes of the stolen art, the Palm Beach Sheriff's
Office is hoping someone will recognize the art works and call Detective Tom
Gendreau at 561-753-8549 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS.
