Three painted Maud Lewis Christmas cards stolen in Halifax late last year are likely gone for good, says the billionaire collector who owns more than 200 of her works.

The original artworks — stolen from a Cambridge Street home on Nov. 25 — are each believed to be worth more than $10,000.

“I’m guessing that whoever stole them knew they were there,” said John Risley, whose net worth has been pegged at $1.21 billion by <em>Canadian Business</em>.

Canadian police "don’t have the capacity to sort of sift through all the auctions where these things might show up," John Risley says{ai:summary}<p>Three valuable Maud Lewis Christmas cards were stolen from a Halifax home in November 2022, with each worth over $10,000.
