A 200-year-old painting of George Washington was stolen from a Colorado storage unit in January..
The Englewood Police Department (EPD) received a call Jan. 22 about the theft of the “historical painting” from a storage facility, but they believe the theft occurred two weeks earlier on Jan 10 ...
“The painting is of our first president, George Washington, and was created in the early 1800s... The approximate size of the piece is 24 inches by 30 inches, measured in a gold-colored frame. The value is undisclosed and hard to estimate due to its historical significance,”
...
Police told the outlet they don’t know if the alleged thieves knew that the painting was inside the storage unit at the time of the theft.
“The victim in the family is just asking for this painting to be returned... It’s been in their family for 50 years, and obviously it’s an important piece of their history, as well as the nation’s history.”

It actually is a legitimate word. Just not commonly used.

Yeah, I noticed that as well.
"stolen" just didn't seem smart enough for the writer I guess.

I like “pilfered”, but in this instance, “burgled” is probably more apropos.

The report’s vague reference to “storage facility” suggests it might be a commercial rental unit like those which people use to store stuff they can’t fit in their garage or attic or closets.
To: george76
I believe all these storage facilities have cameras. Unless it’s an inside job.

OT, but "Police told the outlet they don’t know if the
alleged thieves..."
"Alleged" thieves...the painting is gone. It was stolen. Thieves broke in and took it. There's nothing "alleged" about it.

“Thieved”? A terrible use of the English language.
Nouns are not verbs.
“A thief stole a painting...”. Much easier to read without fabricated words and the horribly overused passive voice.

Thieved? Well it showed up and voice to text so maybe it is a real word. But I don’t like the way that any noun can be verbed in the youngest language.

Thieved?
Where do these idiots learn English? What about the word “stolen?”
So many other words that would suffice:
nicked, pinched, plundered, filched ,purloined
