Landlord finds stolen Picasso in vacant apartment, calls buddy for appraisal before painting over it

A Milwaukee landlord found a stolen Picasso etching in a vacant apartment and had an antiques dealer friend appraise it instead of painting over it. The artwork, valued at $35,000, was reported stolen in 2019. The landlord now faces a decision: return it or face charges, though no reward is guaranteed.
