Posted February 7, 200817 yr Missing Elvis painting valued at $15,000 is returned: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y48/elvis1959/StolenElvisPainting.jpg A painting of Elvis soon will be back home in West Lakeland Township where it belongs. A motorist who thought the expensive portrait of the rock star was being discarded drove off with it Jan. 30, but turned it in to authorities Tuesday after she saw a news report about the missing painting, said Detective Tim Harris of the Washington County Sheriff's Office. The painting, valued at $15,000, features a depiction of Presley's face in the 1950s movie "King Creole." Its owner, Jon Kittelsen, had placed it at the end of his driveway mounted on a sawhorse, thinking that would be a welcoming touch for guests arriving for a fundraiser he was hosting. A passing motorist spotted the painting and thought it was being thrown out. So she did what any Elvis fan would do. She saved it from the trash and gave it to her sister, who is a huge Elvis fan. Harris said the sister, who lives in Oakdale, saw a news report asking for its return, so she contacted the sheriff's office and requested that it be "Returned to Sender." Authorities notified Kittelsen that the painting has been recovered. No charges will be filed, Harris said. (News, Source;Sanja Meegin)
