By LH: A Magritte stolen back in 2009 at gunpoint has been returned, after the thieves failed to find a buyer...
Magritte's 'Olympia' is a study of the artist's wife with a giant shell resting on her stomach. It was stolen from Magritte's former house which is open to the public as a museum by appointment only.

Fortunately, no damage was caused to the work.
