BRUSSELS, Feb 9, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- A large-scale burglary at a Brussels chateau was discovered Thursday morning.
The newspaper Het Nieuwsblad reports the thieves appear to have been experts who knew enough to leave a small painting that happens to be a copy hanging on the wall, while making off with millions of dollars worth of tapestry and pictures.
A gardener at the Chateau Grand-Bigard discovered a door in the castle's residential wing was open when he arrived for work Thursday. He called police.
Investigators were trying to get a detailed inventory of missing items Thursday.
