am entirely versed in the laws of theft of art & antiques in NY
through heavy research pertaining to my own business in NYC for many
years & what I can tell you is this
New York law contains a code that relates to belated discovery of
theft & the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the
theft is discovered by the owner of the property. This part of the
law was created about 100 years ago to protect heirs of art &
antiques and has won out in very many cases over the years including
once a theft of a very valuable painting from an elderly woman during
the 1950's which was not discovered until the 1970's resulting in
criminal charges against a contractor in that case as well.
As such, seeing as the theft was only recently discovered, the
statute only began once they became aware of the theft. I suggest Mr.
Eric Kechejian is far from safe where concerns this theft both
civilly & criminally and that if the family decides to pursue the
case, that the thief - who can be easily identified by by both Steve
Fishler & Richie Muchin (I've known both of them since I was 18) and
though I suspect that Rich Muchin paid in cash as was his way of
doing business for years if possible & Fishler who almost certainly
paid with a check - or got a receipt for cash - that Mr Kechejian
will almost certainly find himself in a sticky situation.
