SANTA FE, N.M., Sept. 11 (UPI) -- A stolen Van Gogh drawing worth $200,000 was found for sale in a New Mexico consignment shop for just $250, the FBI says.
The black and white sketch for the artist's painting "The Night Cafe" was taken last May from a home in Santa Fe along with 76 other artworks, The (Santa Fe) New Mexican reports.
FBI Spokesman Stephan Marshall says a Santa Fe agent assigned to the case received information on Wednesday that someone had acquired a piece of art from a consignment shop in Raton that was stolen from the Santa Fe home.
FBI agents and Santa Fe police detectives were at the shop when it opened Thursday morning and recovered the Van Gogh drawing.
Sgt. Jason Wagner of the Santa Fe police says authorities do not suspect the consignment shop of being involved in the theft.
