200-year-old portrait of first US President George Washington swiped from Colorado storage unit
A painting of George Washington that dates back to the 1800s was stolen from an Englewood, Colorado, storage unit last month, police announced on Tuesday.
Police believe the painting was stolen in the middle of the night on Jan. 10, but the theft wasn’t discovered right away.
“It’s not often that we have historical artifacts or historical art pieces stolen from this city,” Crystal Essman with the Englewood Police Department told Fox 31 Denver.
The portrait has been owned by the family for 50 years and was created in the early 1800s, according to police. It is approximately 24 inches by 30 inches and is in a gold frame.

Police stated that the value is undisclosed and hard to estimate due to its historical significance.
“It’s a family heirloom, and they just want it back,” Essman said.
DYING ‘WIZARD OF OZ’ RUBY SLIPPERS THIEF GETS NO JAIL TIME
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is partnering with local law enforcement to track down the painting and are asking for the public’s help in finding the stolen portrait of George Washington.
Anyone with information about the missing portrait is encouraged to contact the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can also remain anonymous and earn up to $2,000 for tips leading to the safe return of the portrait.

Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Trevor McDonald, RHP
Jameson Taillon has had a rough year, but also has made some very good starts, including last time out, last Tuesday against the A’s. Hope that continues.
Current Giants are batting .169 (11-for-65) against Taillon, though with four home runs (two by Rafael Devers, one each by Matt Chapman and Willy Adames). That should not surprise you.
Keep the ball in the yard tonight, Jamo.
Trevor McDonald is making his ninth MLB start. Of the previous eight, six have come this year, so he comes in with just 52 innings of MLB experience. He was the Giants’ 11th round pick out of George County High School in Lucedale, Mississippi in 2019, and I mention the specific school because that’s the same school that produced Justin Steele.
Of his six starts this year, five were decent to good, he got pounded in the other one May 22 by the White Sox (seven runs in 3.2 innings).
McDonald has never faced the Cubs. The only Cub who’s seen him is Michael Conforto (1-for-3).
Here is the weather forecast for the area around Wrigley Field.
Today’s game is on NBC (full national broadcast, no blackouts). It’s also streaming on Peacock. Announcers: Jason Benetti, Jim Deshaies and Hunter Pence. Anthony Rizzo is the dugout reporter.
Here is the complete MLB.com live streaming page for today.

Shannon Woodard, interim executive director of DNDA, visited Mechanics Bank in The Junction this week to accept a $7,500 grant that’ll help support the housing/art/community nonprofit’s work. One big event ahead: The Arts-in-Nature Festival returns on Saturday, June 27, 10 am-8 pm, at Camp Long (5200 35th SW). Admission will be free, and you’ll be able to wander the park to enjoy music, movement, and storytelling performances, as well as immersive art installations in the park’s rustic cabins. Accepting the grant, Woodard told Mechanics Bank’s Andrew Tento (pictured above with her) and Bob Livingston that though her role as interim executive director is new, she’s been on the DNDA board since 2015, and has worked in the housing sector, setting her up for leadership in DNDA’s housing work, too. “As well as providing affordable housing, we prove community,” Woodard noted – and that’s what the June 27 festival will be about, too.
