16 of the world's most valuable stolen items

Picasso's Le Pigeon aux Petits-Pois

This 1911 artwork by Pablo Picasso was one of five paintings stolen from the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in May 2010. Altogether the five paintings are worth $123 million (£95m), but the Picasso remains the most valuable. Though the culprit was arrested in 2011, the missing paintings were never recovered – panicking, the thief threw the works of art in a trash container and they are thought to have been destroyed.
