explain who needs a stolen Degas?
 For me, the artistic value of course is not lost, but the product is zero. Did that get the money for a fee if returned.

nikola, many of Picasso's works are known only by the existence. Sometimes there ch.b photo, unknown even dimensions. T e is the owners who absolutely do not want to shine your collection or otherwise notify the public order expert, sell, and so on. They just hold and enjoy the pictures. Degas can go to that.
