Evidence of artistic recognition?

The 3 pieces located at the Center for Creative Arts in Yorklyn, De. were stolen some time on the night of Sat. May 10, 2008. 

Is this  evidence of artistic recognition -- perhaps a sign that the work is admired and desired strongly enough to be stolen? 

Some artists whose work has been stolen are guys like Picasso, Gauguin, Munch, Da Vinci, VanGogh, and more. Does this theft put me in their class?

Yeah, sure!

Phreddie Phish ?

My neighbor, Bob, is an avid fisherman and he's purported to be quite expert wielding rod and reel. His skill does move beyond the mundane, to wit here on his lawn is a recent trophy -- species is yet to be determined or named. Maybe Sara (aka "Mrs. Bob") will take the reins (mixed metaphor -- fish have no reins -- and this one seems to also be lacking gills!) and supply a proper and suitable name .
