Thanks to considerable help from the Art Loss Register (ALR) of New York, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has recovered seven of the eight ancient Egyptian artifacts that were stolen in 2007 from the Bijbels Museum in Amsterdam.

The ALR, an organization that maintains a database of stolen works of art, discovered the artifacts at an unidentified Manhattan auction house (allegedly one of the biggies) and then called Customs, which had been asked by the Dutch police to help. The auction house then turned the items over to the ALR and the immigration and customs agency. Of the eight items stolen, seven have been recovered. The eighth is an earthenware Shabti figure covered in hieroglyphic markings. The ALR declined to give the value the items and said the auction catalogue did not yet carry estimates.
