Dive Brief:

• A painting worth HK$28.75 million, was removed from the Grand Hyatt hotel in Hong Kong. It is believed to have been moved into a trash pile by a security guard, then placed into the trash by the hotel's cleaners.
• Authorities have watched surveillance video showing the events leading up to the incident, and have searched the Tuen Mun landfill. The artwork has not been recovered. 
• The police have classified the case as a theft.

Dive Insight:

A spokesman for the Grand Hyatt hotel has stated that the hotel will not be responsible for the missing art, as it is not in charge of the security of the exhibits. The painting, "Snowy Mountain," was recently sold at the Wan Chai hotel for HK$28.75 million at an auction.
