Two paintings were taken in frames from the San Francisco museum in Golden Gate Park after a skylight was removed. A 600 pound walnut chest was placed beneath the gap, likely used as a ladder, with other works including a Rembrandt piece removed but not taken for being too large. Valuations: a night river scene by Aert Van der Neer at $2,000, a harbor scene by Willem Van der Velde at $5,000, and an interior Rotterdam church by Anthonie Delorme at $55,000. The museum is bequeathed to the city by M.H. de Young.
