Will any of the stolen art from the Isabella Stewart Garder Museum be recovered in 2009?

Settled as No

They're still looking: http://www.gardnermuseum.org/information/theft.asp

Background:

Background: On March 18, 1990, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston was burglarized and thieves looted $500 million worth of art. All the stolen objects are still missing, including two paintings by Rembrandt and a very important work by Vermeer.

Considered one of the biggest art thefts in history, media attention seems to be increasing as of late. In recent years, several documentaries on the theft have appeared, and there is news of a book on the heist to be released in 2009.

With all the renewed interest, will any of the works finally be found?

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.
