Oh, I feel famous!
One of the writers on the show Leverage has a blog, and he has posts where you can ask questions about the episode that aired, so I asked a question, and he answered me!
This was my question: I would like to know what the old couple will do with the painting - technically it is still stolen so do you have a Word of God as to how they dealt with that?
And this is his answer:
Possession is nine-tenths of the law, and they'll be able to prove provenance, which the other owner was dodging with his influence and money. Basically, they would have won anyway if they could have gotten a fair hearing, so the evil millionaire just isn't going to press a court case. The whole legal field of recovered art is quite fascinating, actually ...
This makes me happier than it probably should.
