Two Rembrandt Etchings: "Self Portrait" "Artist's Mother Reading" Stolen from a private residence in Mount Eliza Melbourne, Australia December 11, 2003

Works by the great Dutch artist Rembrandt, 17th-century master of the chiaroscuro, are what you would expect to find in Amsterdam, the Uffizi and the Louvre, but in a bedroom in outer suburban Melbourne?
Granted, they were two small etchings - a self-portrait and an image of the artist's mother reading. But someone, it appears, knew of their existence and their alleged worth of at least $700,000 to want to steal them from a Mount Eliza home on Tuesday night.
