If You Wait Long Enough, Everything Comes Back to You … Even Your Stolen Art

April 30, 2014 by Marion Maneker

Native American Stolen Art

This story of stolen Native American art that was discovered when an innocent buyer tried to re-sell it to the original owner suggests that if you wait long enough, everything comes back to you:

Linda Greever has been collecting Native American art for 40 years. Her collection is featured in museums. Now, police say someone else is also collecting pieces from her own collection.

Greever said she didn’t know someone was stealing from her until twenty-two pieces came through her storefront, again.

“Well I immediately recognized them as belonging to me,” Greever said.

Sergeant Shellie Seibert with the Tulsa Police, said, “It turned out to be her own art that was stolen.”
