    3. FBI returning stolen art to Polish museum, June 20, 2012 http://tinyurl.com/cb38yoj "The FBI says it is returning more than 120 stolen artifacts, worth a total of about $5 million, to the Polish Museum of America. The artifacts disappeared from the museum in the 1970s or 1980s and were found last year at a home on the Northwest Side, according to the FBI. Among the items are 18th and 19th-century documents, rare prints and sketches, Nazi propaganda from World War II and military medals. The documents include letters to and from Polish kings, a French emperor and American Revolutionary War heroes. The FBI did not say if anyone has been charged. FBI officials and representatives of the museum will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. today to discuss the return. Some of the artifacts will be displayed at the news conference, and a full list of the items will be released."
