I have been going through some old files and discovered two collection
objects were stolen from the museum in 1972.  We filed an insurance claim
and received a check for the value of the two objects.  I was wondering if
the objects should still remain as accessioned objects, since technically,
the objects now belong to the insurance company (if they are ever found,
that is).  I have looked in various sources, including Marie's Malaro's book
and Fine Arts Insurance: A Handbook for Art Museums and have not discovered
an answer to my question.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
