Faux Pas: Art thieves who thought they swiped a museum-quality collection last week in Cannes, France, are probably mourning the one that got away, police said Wednesday. Collector Jacques Schwarz-Fuchs told authorities that at least eight of the stolen works are copies of paintings by Pablo Picasso, Pierre Auguste Renoir and other 19th- and 20th-Century artists. But the thieves left an original Camille Pissarro that probably was worth more than all the stolen items together, police said.
