I wonder what happens when a collector buys a stolen print like this?  
I'm guessing the collector can keep it so long as he/she was not 
complicit.  Far from the same facts, but we have an interesting case 
going on in Oklahoma now, where OU has a Pissaro painting stolen from 
the owner during WWII.
