BERLIN (Reuters) - Two German nuns took the law into their own hands and recovered a picture of the Virgin Mary stolen from their Franciscan hospital, police say.
The engraving vanished on Saturday and Sisters Georgia and Isabella decided not to leave the case just to the police.
"The two nuns took a car and scoured the local area on Sunday morning," said a police spokesman on Tuesday. "They got lucky and found the picture at a flea market."
"When the seller asked for 500 euros (340 pounds) they said they would have to ring to get someone to bring the money. Instead they called the police," he said.
The seller is being investigated for handling stolen goods.
