Montreal Museum of Fine Arts — 1972 theft

Armed thieves took paintings and other objects from the museum on 4 September 1972. Radio Canada International reported in 2015 that a substantial reward still existed. This is one theft case, not a separate reward for every missing work; no current amount or validity is confirmed.
