LOS ANGELES (Reuters) –
A multimillion-dollar collection of Andy Warhol art has been stolen from a private home, Los Angeles police said on Friday.

The stolen artwork includes 10 pieces from the late 1970s depicting famous athletes of the time, including boxer Muhammad Ali and former football star turned "Trial of the Century" defendant O.J. Simpson.

The art was likely stolen from the home of a Los Angeles area businessman on September 2 or 3, a police spokeswoman said.
