Stolen Renoir paintings found hidden behind cinder block wall
Thieves broke into the museum and escaped with two works by Renoir, abandoning two others as they fled. The value of all four paintings was estimated at $10 million.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the recovery of stolen Renoir paintings and include the roughly $10 million valuation. CBS News adds that thieves broke into the museum, escaped with two works and left two others behind, while NBC News instead foregrounds the mayor’s statement praising investigators and is the only one to say the town houses the Renoir Museum.
