A 2006 art theft from a Rio de Janeiro museum involving works by Monet, Matisse, Dalí, and Picasso has expired from prosecution, with stolen pieces valued at $16 million never recovered and perpetrators unidentified.

Over 1,000 artifacts, including Native American baskets and 19th-century items, were stolen from Oakland Museum of California's off-site storage in an early-morning burglary.
