World War II crime needs to be the next big thing in New York justice.</p>
<p>According to an announcement today from US Attorney Preet Bharara and James Hayes, Jr. of Homeland Security Immigrations and Customs Enforcement:</p>
<blockquote><p>11 oil paintings that were taken by a U.S. serviceman from a Pirmasens air raid shelter after the allied invasion of Germany in 1945, [were] returned at repatriation ceremony at the Goethe-Institut in Manhattan, New York. The paintings, several by a hometown artist, are on their way home to Pirmasens Museum in Germany.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We would also be up for some Civil-War-type capers, provided they have a Ken Burnsian fiddle soundtrack.</p>
