NEW YORK, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- A chauffeur stole valuable art works, including an Andy Warhol cardboard box, from his New York employer, authorities allege.

Police allege additional pieces of art, including a $65,000 Francis Picabia ink drawing titled "Jean Cocteau," and other valuables from the home of Biear's employer were found in the chauffeur's home.
