  "account": "An early-morning break-in at the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer, southern France, resulted in the theft of four artworks valued at €9 million, according to the town's far-right mayor, Bryan Masson. Two individuals broke into the museum, which opened in 1960 in Pierre-Auguste Renoir's final home before his death in 1919. The stolen paintings included works on display and objects belonging to the renowned impressionist painter. Authorities responded swiftly, with the municipal police arriving just five minutes after the alarm was triggered at 5:48am. One of the stolen pieces was dropped during the escape. The mayor estimated the value of the stolen works at €9 million, equivalent to US$10 million.",
