Thief in the Night
Colby administrators and local law enforcement officers were dismayed at the theft of four Impressionist paintings from the Eustis administration building in early November.
The paintings were removed from walls on the second and third floors of Eustis late Tuesday, November 5 or early Wednesday, November 6. Waterville police investigated the theft but have made no arrests. The paintings have not been recovered.
The remaining artwork displayed throughout the Eustis building and in other locations on campus was removed immediately after the theft and later rehung more securely.
Most of the College's prized artwork is housed in the Museum of Art under tight security.
