I had to do a double-take, reading the news that four California museums were raided by federal agents on suspicions that the institutions had knowledgeably purchased stolen art:
The detailed warrants gave the agents broad authority to search the museums' galleries, offices, storage areas and computer archives. They were looking for objects and records related to the primary targets of the investigation: an alleged art smuggler, Robert Olson, and the owner of a Los Angeles Asian art gallery, Jonathan Markell. Markell's Silk Roads Gallery on La Brea Avenue was also raidedRobert Olson—not Robert Olsen, a fine painter who happens to also call L.A. home.
