jim morrison pere lachaise grave bust recovered 2647328

French authorities recovered the marble bust that once adorned Jim Morrison's grave at Père Lachaise cemetery, 37 years after it vanished in 1988. The bust, created by Croatian sculptor Mladen Mikulin and installed in 1981, was discovered during a fraud investigation by the Paris Public Prosecutor's Office. The sculpture, missing its nose and covered in graffiti, had become a iconic fixture at the singer's burial site before its mysterious theft.

Thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in Paris and stole several pieces of the French Crown Jewels from the Galerie d'Apollon, including a diadem, necklace, earrings, and brooches from the parures of Queen Marie-Amélie, Queen Hortense, Empress Marie-Louise, and Empress Eugénie. Two items—the reliquary brooch and the corsage bow—were dropped and recovered, and a ninth item, Empress Eugénie's crown, was also taken but later recovered. The thieves triggered alarms and fled after a fast, violent break-in, leaving behind a cherry picker; no injuries were reported.
