(CNN) — Six paintings stolen from an old town hall in the small coastal town of Medemblik in north Holland have been returned via an unusual doorstep delivery to an art detective nearly 40 miles away in Amsterdam.
Brand, dubbed the "Indiana Jones of the Art World," made international headlines last month after recovering a stolen work by Van Gogh.
A spokeswoman for the Medemblik municipality told The Art Newspaper that the find was a surprise.
“But,” he added, “I have asked for a book voucher.”Read more stories from The Art Newspaper here.
