The director of the Lassen
Galerie in Las Vegas say two
paintings featuring the
Disney mascot that were
lifted from his Vegas strip

Paul Olsen said his biggest
fear is that the crook may
not realize the true value of
"Seaside Romance" and
"Sorcerer of the Seas."
"They're not just Mickey
Mouse paintings; they are
masterpieces," said Olson.

The 30-by-20-inch paint
