Rockwell painting stolen by: Eleanor E-W

On May 22 a Norman Rockwell painting "Sport" was sold in New York at Sotheby's auction of American Art. The painting was expensive, and sold from a private collection. Unfortunately, someone has stolen the painting.  It was stolen while it was in storage in Maspeth. The article asks for anyone with information on  the stolen painting to contact Crime Stoppers.

I have never heard of this painter before, but he must be famous if someone would steal his painting. According to the article the painting sold for $1,085,000! I don't really know how much paintings usually cost, but this seems like a lot of money to me. I hope they find the whoever stole the painting and can return it to their rightful owners.
