  "account": "Two thieves broke into the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer, France, on Tuesday morning, stealing four works of art. Mayor Bryan Masson of the town said the works were worth €9 million, or about US$10 million. One of the stolen paintings was dropped as the thieves fled. Surveillance cameras captured the two suspects, who ran away, abandoning the dropped painting. The museum, opened in 1960 in Pierre-Auguste Renoir's last home, houses objects and furniture belonging to the artist, along with portraits, landscapes, and nudes. Police arrived five minutes after the alarm was raised at 5:48am, making their way to the scene by 5:53am. This incident occurred less than a year after a similar daylight robbery at the Louvre in Paris, where eight items estimated at €$100 million were stolen, though they have yet to be recovered.",
