Authorities in Norway have found the Edvard Munch paintings--The Scream and Madonna--that were ripped off at gunpoint two years ago from the Munch Museum. The thieves were convicted in May but the paintings hadn't been recovered. From BBC News:
The Scream and Madonna were found in a "police action". "We are 100% certain they are the originals. The damage was much less than feared," police said.

UPDATE: Thanks to all the readers who point out that the paintings were found just days after Mars, Inc. offered 2 million dark chocolate M&M's for the return of The Scream.
