Mead Art thief back behind bars

Myles Connor of Blackstone, Massachusetts, who spent ten years in prison for a 1975 theft of two paintings from Mead Art Museum, has been arrested once again while trying to steal $700 worth of watches from a Natick, MA jeweler. Connor is thought to have a connection with the Gardner Museum theft, which has been gaining attention recently, as the fifteenth anniversary of the theft has passed without any word on the location of the paintings.

I see Myles Connor got popped for stealing a bag of jelly beans or something. That's him "Myles down the street" as we called him back in the day.
Sorry you never got all your stuff back. It was bad karma to steal from people like you.
Is there any interest in seeing the rest of the stuff returned? I know you got the items back he tried to sell in '89 but my count still has you folks missing about ten more peices.
