Rembrandt's Portrait of Jacob de Gheyn III (1632). Now this Art piece with all its significance historically or in terms of its Artistic quality has a unique case. This was stolen from London's Dulwich Picture Gallery 4 times between 1966 and 1983. The various places from where it was recovered were from a Cemetery, train station's luggage office and from the thieves. Interestingly, it made it to Guinness World records for the most stolen object. So it also earned the nickname "Takeaway".

@JudyEv I wonder if someone in the security is also implicit in such crimes?

I thought it would be Van Gogh's work of art. Thanks for the info.
