US EditionStolen painting of President George Washington recovered after burglary
- A 200-year-old painting of President George Washington, a copy of a well-known image by Gilbert Stuart, was recovered by the Englewood Police Department on March 31, 2025, more than a year after it was stolen.
- The painting was stolen from a storage unit located in the 3300 block of Santa Fe Drive in Englewood in January 2024.
- An anonymous Crime Stoppers tip led investigators to a man who said he unknowingly acquired the painting from a hotel clerk after it was found in a vacated room at a Denver hotel.
- The recovered painting has minor cosmetic damage to the frame, and police do not believe the man who turned it in was involved in the original theft, so he faces no charges.
- The painting, now belonging to the insurance company that paid the owner's claim, has an estimated retail value between $60,000 and $150,000, and investigators are still seeking suspects in the original theft.
