Keep Your Belongings With You

Sophie Matisse's Guernica-lite; Photo - NY PostAck - a fine arts framer left his portfolio containing a Picasso drawing and a Sophie Matisse painting on the 1/9 platform at West 79th Street Thursday morning. Framer W.H. Bailey, who also framed Starry Night (but did not lose it), sobbed when the subway clerk told him the portfolio hadn't been returned. This makes Gothamist wonder what other high-ticket items that one wouldn't think should be transported in the subway are actually in the subway?
