According to The Guardian, the disappearance of a Henry Moore sculpture worth £3m (approximately $4.6 million) has been solved by police. Police authorities believe that the Reclining Figure sculpture was melted down and sold for no more than £1,500 (approximately $2,300). The bronze sculpture was stolen from the 72-acre estate of the Henry Moore Foundation in Much Hadham, Hertfordshire, in December 2005.
