Ain't no party like a Marin mansion party at the home of a deposed world leader -- because such parties include the theft of silver candlesticks and paintings by Pablo Picasso.
A lithograph worth $30,000 by the famous artist is among the items missing from a mansion on Obertz Lane in South Novato, the old residence of former Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko, according to the Marin Independent Journal.
Teens were caught partying at the "nine-bedroom, 19,500-square-foot house" on May 27 but fled before police could apprehend them, the newspaper reported. The stolen loot, which included the Picasso as well as "another $5,000 in silver candlesticks, leather coats and laptop computers" was found missing by a caretaker on May 28.
Lazarenko is in prison on Terminal Island since a 1998 arrest and conviction for money laundering.
Several entities, including Marin County, have filed claims on the mansion for unpaid tax bills.
