Courtesy of Dsseldorf PolicePolice in Dsseldorf, Germany, recovered a 20th-century surrealist painting from an airport dumpster.In what is probably the best case of lost and found, German authorities successfully tracked down and recovered a missing $340,000 surrealist painting from an airports recycling dumpster.According to German news outlet Deutsche Welle, the valuable artwork nearly ended up in a garbage facility after an unidentified businessman traveling internationally from Dsseldorf had forgotten to take the painting on board his flight with him.The painting was an authentic untitled piece by 20th-century French surrealist Yves Tanguy. A self-taught artist, Tanguy was known for his surreal landscapes such as Le Ruban des excs and The Ribbon of Excess (1932). Before becoming a master painter, Tanguay served in the French military and worked odd jobs.He secured his first solo show in 1927 at the Galerie Surraliste in Paris. A year later, his work was being compared to the likes of other revered painters like Andr Masson, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dal.Courtesy of Police DsseldorfThe $340,000 painting had been trashed after it was left at the airports check-in counter.The owner of the Tanguy painting had planned on taking the valuable painting on his flight from Dsseldorf to Tel Aviv, Israel. The art piece, which measures 16 by 24 inches and is valued at 280,000 euros, was packaged inside a thin cardboard box to protect it during the flight. But the owner accidentally left the boxed painting at the check-in counter, presumably as he was handling his documents to board his flight.When he realized that he had forgotten the art piece, it was too late.The man quickly contacted German authorities upon his arrival in Israel, but they could not locate the painting. His luck turned after his nephew boarded a flight from Belgium to Dsseldorf, where he got in touch with police at a precinct near the airport regarding his uncles lost painting. The case was picked up by inspector Michael Dietz, who contacted the cleaning company that worked with the airport. Investigators, together with the facility manager, searched through the piles of garbage dumped inside the paper recycling dumpsters used by the airport cleaning crew.After rummaging through the piles of recycled waste, low and behold, they found the missing painting. This was definitely one of our happiest stories this year, said police spokesman Andre Hartwig. It was real detective work. The owner was able to pick up the lost painting from the police a few weeks after its recovery. The painting was an untitled authentic piece by French artist Yves Tanguy.While the paintings owner in this case can breathe a sigh of relief, other missing painting cases have not had as much luck and could not be recovered.A slew of missing painting cases has cropped up across Europe in recent years. These include a handful of robberies that took place at museums and other art institutions during the COVID-19 lockdown, which have stumped investigators, and altogether sealed the fate of the stolen masterpieces forever. The first paintings that were reported missing in 2020 were 16th-century masterpieces stolen from the Christ Church Picture Gallery at the University of Oxford in March. The paintings are worth a combined total of $12 million.Another art heist occurred a week later when a Van Gogh painting was stolen from the Singer Laren museum in the Netherlands. The art thieves had broken through the closed museums glass door and made away with Van Goghs famed landscape piece The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in Spring.Luckily for the owner of this Tanguy painting, however, his lost piece was easily recovered.Next, read how a Rembrandt that was believed to be fake might actually be the real deal.

Jesse Grant/WireImage for Yari Film Group/GettyRowdy Roddy Piper, pictured in 2007.Superstar wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper died suddenly and unexpectedly on July 31, 2015, in his sleep at the age of 61. Given his relatively young age, fans and colleagues were heartbroken at his passing, and when the news broke at a professional wrestling convention in North Carolina, emcees held a 10-bell salute, then shared their memories of this singular performer.Roddy Pipers larger-than-life personality defined his career, where he often played the part of the villain in the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment) throughout the 1980s, opposite the likes of the legendary Hulk Hogan.In all, Piper was a wrestler for 45 years, but his high blood pressure would ultimately do him in. After years of suffering from hypertension, Roddy Pipers death was caused by a blood clot that led to a heart attack. But years after his shocking demise, Pipers legacy as the ultimate wrestling villain lives on.Roddy Pipers Early Life And Wrestling CareerRoddy Piper endured a difficult childhood that involved moving often. His troubled home life, including his relationship with his father, eventually led him to leave home and live on the streets at only 13.Piper began his career at 15 years old when he was living in a youth hostel. A priest told him that he could earn $25 if he competed in a professional wrestling match.The extra money appealed to the teen, so he jumped at the chance and earned his first wrestling name as Roddy the Piper because of the bagpipes he decided to use as a gimmick in his act. As reported by Pro Wrestling Stories, the bagpipes were an important part of Pipers life.I picked up the bagpipes somehow, Piper said. Those bagpipes have been my entire life. It was my way of escaping when I didnt have any place to go. Incorporating them into his persona was an easy thing to do, and his name even lent itself to this gimmick. In addition to the bagpipes, Piper used wrestling and boxing as ways to get out his pent-up anger and aggression. These stress-relieving techniques soon helped him into a new career. His first match was against Larry The Axe Hennig, who towered over the 15-year-old at 65 and 320 pounds. Piper lost in spectacular fashion in just 10 seconds, which was the shortest match ever at the Winnipeg Arena.Rowdy Pipers Big Break And Rise to StardomPiper first came to wrestling prominence in a 45-minute beating at the urging of wrestler Leo Garibaldi. Piper fought Java Ruuk, but upon Garibaldis advice, didnt touch him and let Ruuk wail on him for 45 minutes. He then started managing Ruuk the next week.During the 1970s, Piper worked for NWA Hollywood Wrestling and the American Wrestling Association (AWA). Judo Gene LeBell tutored the young wrestler and helped form him into the star he would become. At this point, he began to feed into the villain persona that would follow him for most of his career.His first impressions were not positive ones, but they gave him some attention. Piper insulted Mexican fans by saying he would play their National Anthem on the bagpipes but then launched into a rendition of La Cucaracha instead. Riots ensued following the insult.How He Forged His Greatest Legacy As A Wrestling VillainGetty ImagesRoddy Piper, in a publicity image for John Carpenters cult classic 1987 sci-fi thriller They Live.The 1980s brought about Roddy Pipers true rise to fame when he joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now the WWE) in 1984. He helped bring the franchise into the limelight.Piper didnt wrestle initially due to an injury he suffered after Starrcade 83 in a dog collar match against Greg Valentine. The match, which was Pipers idea, involved the two men, each wearing collars connected by a chain. They then beat each other with this chain and it ended in Piper winning the match. While the match was one of the most famous of his career, Piper suffered some brutal injuries, including losing most of his hearing in his left ear.Roddy Piper eventually hosted the WWE interview segment Pipers Pit in a format where his interviews often became combative, due to his wit and ability to think quickly on his feet. More than one interviewee got mad and acted out against the charismatic host. Piper often manipulated them with a barrage of questions until they got fed up with the whole thing. There was one interview where he broke a coconut over Jimmy Super Fly Snukas head and another interview where Andre the Giant himself flung Piper through the air.When 1985 came around, WrestleMania was introduced after Pipers famous matches with Hogan. It built upon the feud that sprang up between the two, and it became an annual event. Piper last competed and won against Adrian Adonis in WrestleMania III before a brief retirement. Not only did Piper win with a sleeper hold, he even shaved his opponents head afterwards. Like many other famous wrestlers, Piper then tried his hand at acting, most notably in John Carpenters 1987 film They Live. The legendary line, I have come to chew bubble gum, and kick ass, and Im all out of bubble gum, was actually an original ad lib by Piper in that sci-fi classic.Piper returned to wrestling in 1992, and in 2005 was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by Ric Flair, who called him, the most gifted entertainer in the history of professional wrestling.How Did Rowdy Roddy Piper Die?While heart attacks are not an uncommon way to go, the fact that Roddy Piper was only 61 was truly shocking for fans. After years of high blood pressure, it finally caught up with him in the form of a blood clot in one of his lungs, which triggered the heart attack that took Pipers life.High blood pressure wasnt Roddy Pipers only health struggle. In 2006 he was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, but beat cancer and was cancer-free at the time of his death. Beating cancer was far from Pipers only adventure, though.He once told The Oregonian:Ive been around the world seven times. Ive been stabbed three times, been down in an airplane and once dated the Bearded Lady. Ive had Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy as a tag-team partner. Ive been in 30 car crashes, none of em my fault, I swear OK, they were probably all my fault.Piper also eerily predicted that he wouldnt make it to age 65, in a 2003 HBO special, according to the New York Daily News.He was, tragically, proven correct on July 31, 2015. Piper suffered his fatal heart attack days after leaving longtime friend Hulk Hogan a voicemail, in which he told him that he was just walking with Jesus.Hogan later said of Pipers passing, I will forever miss him. He was my best friend. He is a legend. Gods gain is our loss. May his family in this time of need, find peace.If you enjoyed reading about Roddy Piper, read about Abraham Lincolns wrestling career.
