Excellent news - the 17 paintings that were stolen in an armed raid on Verona's Castelvecchio Museum have been recovered. According to footage released by the Ukraine authorities, above, they were found hidden in undergrowth near the border with Moldova, wrapped in plastic. News stories last month suggested that Italian police knew the pictures had been taken to Moldova.

It seems the frames have been lost along the way.
