(AP Photo/Gus Ruelas) Authorities have recovered the Rembrandt drawing stolen Saturday from a California Ritz-Carlton, after getting a tip that it was in a local church, the Los Angeles Times reports. The Judgment, an 11-by-6 pen-and-ink artwork worth $250,000 or more, was being displayed on an easel and apparently wasn't fastened down, the AP notes. It disappeared as a curator was talking to someone who appeared interested in purchasing another piece, but investigators say it's still not clear whether that person was an accomplice of the thief.
