A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED EARLY MAY<br />
IN DALLAS, TEXAS.<br />
This painting is irreplaceable and one of<br />
only 100 Cosmic X paintings of the famous<br />
American Cosmic artist Jack Armstrong<br />
and worth a staggering $13 Million. The<br />
two main suspects are blaming each other<br />
for the theft and serious threats of bodily<br />
harm.<br />
The painting was on loan to a Dallas<br />
woman Ms. X who had been a long term<br />
friend of the artist’s and she accused her<br />
lodger Mr. Y of stealing the painting and<br />
using it to extort her. Mr. Y alleges that<br />
she took the painting out of the country.<br />
Ms. X mysteriously failed to report the<br />
theft to the police at the time and several<br />
months later, when the artist asked for his<br />
painting back, as he had donated it to a<br />
children’s charity based in New York, she<br />
informed him that his painting had been stolen. Both suspects claim that they are<br />
completely innocent. The Dallas police have a reputation for being thorough and<br />
together with the FBI we have every confidence they will recover the painting. In<br />
the meantime the artist has generously donated another of his 100 only Cosmic X<br />
paintings to the charity.<br />
The artist’s fingerprints and DNA are in all of his 100 originals so I doubt it will<br />
appear on the market for sale as it is easily authenticated. The artist who no longer<br />
resides in the USA often left paintings with various people he knew. This painting<br />
which is unique from the others as it references a Hollywood icon will hopefully be<br />
returned to the artist soon.<br />
